Was $5,400 a good price for this 2018 TESLA MODEL 3?

3696 comparable 2018 TESLA MODEL 3 listings sold at auction for a median of $5,400, spanning $3,525 to $7,950. At $5,400 this one went exactly at that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

How much below its undamaged value did this TESLA MODEL 3 sell for?

The insurer put this 2018 TESLA MODEL 3's pre-damage retail value at $16,206. It sold for $5,400 — 67% 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.

What does a salvage title mean for this TESLA MODEL 3?

This 2018 TESLA MODEL 3 was sold on a salvage title. A salvage title means an insurer declared the vehicle a total loss. Repairing it and passing a state inspection can convert it to a rebuilt title, which stays on the record permanently and affects resale value.

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

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 TESLA MODEL 3. 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.

Is 142,370 miles high for a 2018 TESLA MODEL 3?

Comparable 2018 TESLA MODEL 3 listings at auction averaged 88,617 miles across 3696 sales, so at 142,370 miles this one sits 61% above 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.
