Question 1

What do side 2016 LEXUS GS models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 13 recorded sales of the 2016 LEXUS GS with side damage, the median was $7,000, from $3,700 to $9,500. That is 4% above the $6,700 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $5,300 a good price for this 2016 LEXUS GS?

Accepted Answer

239 comparable 2016 LEXUS GS listings sold at auction for a median of $6,700, spanning $3,500 to $10,400. At $5,300 this one went 21% 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 much below its undamaged value did this LEXUS GS sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2016 LEXUS GS's pre-damage retail value at $25,281. It sold for $5,300 — 79% 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 "RUN AND DRIVES" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2016 LEXUS GS. It means the vehicle started and moved under its own power during a brief check at the yard. It is not a mechanical inspection and says nothing about how far it would drive. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

Question 5

How far is this LEXUS GS from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in TX - HOUSTON. The nearest major vehicle export port is Houston, 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 6

Is 66,275 miles high for a 2016 LEXUS GS?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2016 LEXUS GS listings at auction averaged 107,259 miles across 239 sales, so at 66,275 miles this one sits 38% 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.
