What do minor dent/scratches 2018 TESLA MODEL S models sell for?

Across 11 recorded sales of the 2018 TESLA MODEL S with minor dent/scratches damage, the median was $8,500, from $6,300 to $12,100. That is 20% above the $7,100 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Was $10,500 a good price for this 2018 TESLA MODEL S?

664 comparable 2018 TESLA MODEL S listings sold at auction for a median of $7,100, spanning $3,750 to $11,100. At $10,500 this one went 48% above 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 S sell for?

The insurer put this 2018 TESLA MODEL S's pre-damage retail value at $26,430. It sold for $10,500 — 60% 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 "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 TESLA MODEL S. 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.

Is 113,503 miles high for a 2018 TESLA MODEL S?

Comparable 2018 TESLA MODEL S listings at auction averaged 82,354 miles across 664 sales, so at 113,503 miles this one sits 38% 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.

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

This 2018 TESLA MODEL S 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.
