Question 1

What do side 2021 NISSAN ALTIMA models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 304 recorded sales of the 2021 NISSAN ALTIMA with side damage, the median was $4,350, from $3,250 to $6,300. That is 1% above the $4,300 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $3,450 a good price for this 2021 NISSAN ALTIMA?

Accepted Answer

3324 comparable 2021 NISSAN ALTIMA listings sold at auction for a median of $4,300, spanning $3,200 to $6,350. At $3,450 this one went 20% 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 NISSAN ALTIMA sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2021 NISSAN ALTIMA's pre-damage retail value at $17,753. It sold for $3,450 — 81% 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

This NISSAN ALTIMA has side and rear end 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

Is 48,785 miles high for a 2021 NISSAN ALTIMA?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2021 NISSAN ALTIMA listings at auction averaged 78,463 miles across 3324 sales, so at 48,785 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.

Question 6

What does "RUN AND DRIVES" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2021 NISSAN ALTIMA. 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.
