Question 2

Was $5,200 a good price for this 2017 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA?

Accepted Answer

922 comparable 2017 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA listings sold at auction for a median of $3,500, spanning $3,050 to $4,800. At $5,200 this one went 49% 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 much below its undamaged value did this VOLKSWAGEN JETTA sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2017 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA's pre-damage retail value at $13,703. It sold for $5,200 — 62% 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 4

How far is this VOLKSWAGEN JETTA from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in MO - BRIDGETON. The nearest major vehicle export port is Houston, roughly 780 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $500-$750, 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 5

What does a clean title mean for this VOLKSWAGEN JETTA?

Accepted Answer

This 2017 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 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.

Question 6

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2017 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. 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.
