Question 1

What do front end 2023 LAND ROVER DEFENDER models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 133 recorded sales of the 2023 LAND ROVER DEFENDER with front end damage, the median was $31,350, from $18,100 to $44,250. That is 1% below the $31,750 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $40,000 a good price for this 2023 LAND ROVER DEFENDER?

Accepted Answer

284 comparable 2023 LAND ROVER DEFENDER listings sold at auction for a median of $31,750, spanning $17,300 to $46,375. At $40,000 this one went 26% above 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 much below its undamaged value did this LAND ROVER DEFENDER sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2023 LAND ROVER DEFENDER's pre-damage retail value at $63,005. It sold for $40,000 — 37% below that. A gap this size is normal for auction vehicles: the buyer takes on the repair cost, the paperwork and the risk that damage is worse than the photos show.

Question 4

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2023 LAND ROVER DEFENDER. 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 5

How far is this LAND ROVER DEFENDER from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in NY - BROOKHAVEN. The nearest major vehicle export port is Newark, roughly 160 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $200-$300, 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 6

Is 9,166 miles high for a 2023 LAND ROVER DEFENDER?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2023 LAND ROVER DEFENDER listings at auction averaged 32,669 miles across 284 sales, so at 9,166 miles this one sits 72% 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.
