Question 1

Was $13,700 a good price for this 2023 VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON?

Accepted Answer

78 comparable 2023 VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON listings sold at auction for a median of $12,600, spanning $5,100 to $17,900. At $13,700 this one went 9% 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 2

How much below its undamaged value did this VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2023 VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON's pre-damage retail value at $27,797. It sold for $13,700 — 51% 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 3

What does a salvage title mean for this VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON?

Accepted Answer

This 2023 VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON 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.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2023 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 5

Is 42,705 miles high for a 2023 VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2023 VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON listings at auction averaged 25,671 miles across 78 sales, so at 42,705 miles this one sits 66% 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.

Question 6

How far is this VOLKSWAGEN ARTEON from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in LA - GREENWELL SPRINGS. The nearest major vehicle export port is New Orleans, roughly 130 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $200-$300, 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.
