What do left & right side 2021 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER models sell for?

Across 18 recorded sales of the 2021 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER with left & right side damage, the median was $11,600, from $8,100 to $16,300. That is 19% below the $14,288 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Was $16,300 a good price for this 2021 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER?

3431 comparable 2021 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER listings sold at auction for a median of $14,288, spanning $8,400 to $20,600. At $16,300 this one went 14% above 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-in mean for this TOYOTA HIGHLANDER?

This 2021 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER was sold on a salvage-in. 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.

How far is this TOYOTA HIGHLANDER from an export port?

The lot sat at IAAI in IN - INDIANAPOLIS. The nearest major vehicle export port is Baltimore, roughly 600 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $500-$725, 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 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. 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 48,543 miles high for a 2021 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER?

Comparable 2021 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER listings at auction averaged 77,216 miles across 3431 sales, so at 48,543 miles this one sits 37% 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.
