Question 1

What do front end 2026 TESLA MODEL Y models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 937 recorded sales of the 2026 TESLA MODEL Y with front end damage, the median was $16,500, from $9,200 to $23,000. That is 4% below the $17,100 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $18,900 a good price for this 2026 TESLA MODEL Y?

Accepted Answer

2043 comparable 2026 TESLA MODEL Y listings sold at auction for a median of $17,100, spanning $9,150 to $24,500. At $18,900 this one went 11% 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 Y 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

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2026 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.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2026 TESLA MODEL Y's pre-damage retail value at $44,094. It sold for $18,900 — 57% 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.

Question 6

Is 4,544 miles high for a 2026 TESLA MODEL Y?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2026 TESLA MODEL Y listings at auction averaged 7,273 miles across 2043 sales, so at 4,544 miles this one sits 38% 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.
