Question 1

How far is this VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in CA - FONTANA. 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.

Question 2

What does "RUN AND DRIVES" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2022 VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON. It means the vehicle started and moved under its own power during a brief check at the yard. It is not a mechanical inspection and says nothing about how far it would drive. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

Question 3

Is 12,234 miles high for a 2022 VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2022 VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON listings at auction averaged 41,076 miles across 42 sales, so at 12,234 miles this one sits 70% 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.

Question 4

Who sold this 2022 VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON?

Accepted Answer

The listing seller was STATE FARM INSURANCE. Seller type is a useful signal: insurers typically consign total-loss vehicles, rental and fleet operators consign on a cycle regardless of damage, and dealers consign trade-ins they do not want to retail. Each implies a different history behind the same damage label.

Question 5

Did this 2022 VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON come with keys?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this lot was listed with keys present, which usually means the vehicle could at least be started or moved at the yard. Combined with interior burn damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.

Question 6

Can I buy this 2022 VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON from AutoBidCar?

Accepted Answer

No. AutoBidCar is an archive of past auction listings, not a seller — we have never owned this vehicle. This 2022 VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON was listed at IAAI as lot 43030129 and any sale happened there. We publish the record so buyers can research what comparable vehicles actually sold for.
