What do rear 2018 TESLA MODEL 3 models sell for?

Across 190 recorded sales of the 2018 TESLA MODEL 3 with rear damage, the median was $5,763, from $3,775 to $8,350. That is 7% above the $5,400 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Was $4,300 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 $4,300 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.

What does a salvage mean for this TESLA MODEL 3?

This 2018 TESLA MODEL 3 was sold on a salvage. 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 "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 TESLA MODEL 3. It is a short status flag applied by the auction, not the result of a mechanical inspection. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

How far is this TESLA MODEL 3 from an export port?

The lot sat at IAAI in AZ - PHOENIX. The nearest major vehicle export port is Long Beach, roughly 380 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $325-$450, 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.

Is 1 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 1 miles this one sits 100% 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.
