Question 1

What do left rear 2023 KIA SPORTAGE models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 38 recorded sales of the 2023 KIA SPORTAGE with left rear damage, the median was $8,200, from $5,300 to $12,300. That is 8% above the $7,600 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $7,150 a good price for this 2023 KIA SPORTAGE?

Accepted Answer

4981 comparable 2023 KIA SPORTAGE listings sold at auction for a median of $7,600, spanning $4,450 to $11,600. At $7,150 this one went 6% below that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

Question 3

How far is this KIA SPORTAGE from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in CA - CARSON. The nearest major vehicle export port is Long Beach, roughly 200 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $250-$350, which is a real part of the landed cost and one reason identical cars fetch different bids depending on where they sit. Rates are indicative market figures rather than quotes, and rise with fuel prices and in winter.

Question 4

This KIA SPORTAGE has left rear and suspension damage — how does that affect it?

Accepted Answer

Damage recorded in two areas usually points to a heavier impact than either label suggests on its own, and it raises the odds of structural damage behind the panels. The auction records the primary and secondary areas only; it does not assess the frame. Photographs and, where available, a physical inspection are the only way to judge how far it goes.

Question 5

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2023 KIA SPORTAGE. It is a short status flag applied by the auction, not the result of a mechanical inspection. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

Question 6

Is 46,927 miles high for a 2023 KIA SPORTAGE?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2023 KIA SPORTAGE listings at auction averaged 49,822 miles across 4981 sales, so at 46,927 miles this one sits 6% below that. At salvage auctions mileage moves the price far less than damage does — a low-mileage car with structural damage will still sell under a higher-mileage clean one.
