What do front end 2017 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF models sell for?

Across 118 recorded sales of the 2017 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF with front end damage, the median was $3,850, from $3,150 to $5,900. That is 3% below the $3,950 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

What does a salvage mean for this VOLKSWAGEN GOLF?

This 2017 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF was sold on a salvage. 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 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF from an export port?

The lot sat at IAAI in OH - COLUMBUS. The nearest major vehicle export port is Baltimore, roughly 430 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $375-$525, 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 2017 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF. 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 80,513 miles high for a 2017 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF?

Comparable 2017 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF listings at auction averaged 76,306 miles across 317 sales, so at 80,513 miles this one sits 6% 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.

Who sold this 2017 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF?

The listing seller was PROGRESSIVE. 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.
