What do rear end 2021 TESLA MODEL 3 models sell for?

Across 621 recorded sales of the 2021 TESLA MODEL 3 with rear end damage, the median was $6,700, from $3,950 to $9,900. That is 2% above the $6,600 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Was $7,000 a good price for this 2021 TESLA MODEL 3?

3815 comparable 2021 TESLA MODEL 3 listings sold at auction for a median of $6,600, spanning $3,800 to $9,925. At $7,000 this one went 6% above that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

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

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.

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

The insurer put this 2021 TESLA MODEL 3's pre-damage retail value at $22,124. It sold for $7,000 — 68% 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 "ENHANCED" mean on this listing?

ENHANCED is the auction's own condition note for this 2021 TESLA MODEL 3. It marks a lot the auction has given extra listing prominence, not a statement about condition. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

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

This 2021 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.
