Question 1

Was $12,200 a good price for this 2026 NISSAN ALTIMA?

Accepted Answer

198 comparable 2026 NISSAN ALTIMA listings sold at auction for a median of $9,150, spanning $4,350 to $14,700. At $12,200 this one went 33% 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 2

How much below its undamaged value did this NISSAN ALTIMA sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2026 NISSAN ALTIMA's pre-damage retail value at $27,728. It sold for $12,200 — 56% 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 3

What does a clean title mean for this NISSAN ALTIMA?

Accepted Answer

This 2026 NISSAN ALTIMA was sold on a clean title. A clean title means no total-loss brand was recorded at the point of sale, which is unusual at salvage auctions and typically lifts the price.

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 2026 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.

Question 5

Is 5,635 miles high for a 2026 NISSAN ALTIMA?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2026 NISSAN ALTIMA listings at auction averaged 7,483 miles across 198 sales, so at 5,635 miles this one sits 25% 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

How far is this NISSAN ALTIMA from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in IA - ELDRIDGE. The nearest major vehicle export port is Houston, roughly 1,000 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $650-$950, 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.
