Question 1

What do front end 2023 LEXUS ES models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 263 recorded sales of the 2023 LEXUS ES with front end damage, the median was $15,500, from $9,100 to $23,200. That is 4% below the $16,200 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $17,500 a good price for this 2023 LEXUS ES?

Accepted Answer

577 comparable 2023 LEXUS ES listings sold at auction for a median of $16,200, spanning $9,100 to $23,200. At $17,500 this one went 8% 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 LEXUS ES sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2023 LEXUS ES's pre-damage retail value at $45,615. It sold for $17,500 — 62% 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

How far is this LEXUS ES from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in KY - WALTON. The nearest major vehicle export port is Savannah, roughly 500 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $425-$600, 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 5

Is 17,109 miles high for a 2023 LEXUS ES?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2023 LEXUS ES listings at auction averaged 37,043 miles across 577 sales, so at 17,109 miles this one sits 54% 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.

Question 6

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2023 LEXUS ES. 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.
