Question 1

What do minor dent/scratches 2020 TESLA MODEL 3 models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 62 recorded sales of the 2020 TESLA MODEL 3 with minor dent/scratches damage, the median was $7,200, from $4,850 to $10,100. That is 20% above the $6,000 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $7,500 a good price for this 2020 TESLA MODEL 3?

Accepted Answer

2900 comparable 2020 TESLA MODEL 3 listings sold at auction for a median of $6,000, spanning $3,700 to $8,950. At $7,500 this one went 25% 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

This TESLA MODEL 3 sold without keys — does that matter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, usually. A missing key means the vehicle often cannot be started or moved under its own power at the yard, so its condition is harder to verify and buyers bid more cautiously. Replacing a modern key and reprogramming it to the immobiliser typically runs into the hundreds. It is one of the more common reasons an otherwise sound car sells below its comparables.

Question 4

How far is this TESLA MODEL 3 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 5

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

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2020 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.

Question 6

Is 162,852 miles high for a 2020 TESLA MODEL 3?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2020 TESLA MODEL 3 listings at auction averaged 75,908 miles across 2900 sales, so at 162,852 miles this one sits 115% 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.
