What do rear end 2016 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF models sell for?

Across 13 recorded sales of the 2016 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF with rear end damage, the median was $3,550, from $3,200 to $5,200. That is 9% below the $3,900 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

What does a clean title mean for this VOLKSWAGEN GOLF?

This 2016 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF was sold on a clean title. A clean title means no total-loss brand was recorded at the point of sale, which is unusual at salvage auctions and typically lifts the price.

How far is this VOLKSWAGEN GOLF from an export port?

The lot sat at COPART in MI - WOODHAVEN. The nearest major vehicle export port is Baltimore, roughly 550 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $475-$650, 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.

Is 126,688 miles high for a 2016 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF?

Comparable 2016 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF listings at auction averaged 89,570 miles across 110 sales, so at 126,688 miles this one sits 41% 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.

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

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2016 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF. 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.

Did this 2016 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF come with keys?

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 rear end damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.
