Was $17,600 a good price for this 2021 TESLA MODEL Y?

3601 comparable 2021 TESLA MODEL Y listings sold at auction for a median of $8,300, spanning $4,900 to $12,600. At $17,600 this one went 112% 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 Y sell for?

The insurer put this 2021 TESLA MODEL Y's pre-damage retail value at $31,123. It sold for $17,600 — 43% 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.

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

The lot sat at COPART in CA - SAN DIEGO. The nearest major vehicle export port is Long Beach, 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.

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2021 TESLA MODEL Y. 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 37,972 miles high for a 2021 TESLA MODEL Y?

Comparable 2021 TESLA MODEL Y listings at auction averaged 66,385 miles across 3601 sales, so at 37,972 miles this one sits 43% 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.
