Question 1

What do rear 2018 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 18 recorded sales of the 2018 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA with rear damage, the median was $3,950, from $3,200 to $4,850. That is 14% above the $3,450 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $4,975 a good price for this 2018 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA?

Accepted Answer

247 comparable 2018 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA listings sold at auction for a median of $3,450, spanning $3,050 to $4,550. At $4,975 this one went 44% 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 3

How far is this VOLKSWAGEN JETTA from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in CA - LOS ANGELES. 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 4

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

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. 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 42,754 miles high for a 2018 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2018 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA listings at auction averaged 83,284 miles across 247 sales, so at 42,754 miles this one sits 49% 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 6

Who sold this 2018 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA?

Accepted Answer

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.
