Question 1

What do minor dent/scratches 2017 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 17 recorded sales of the 2017 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN with minor dent/scratches damage, the median was $3,600, from $3,100 to $5,300. That is 6% above the $3,400 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $3,200 a good price for this 2017 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN?

Accepted Answer

300 comparable 2017 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN listings sold at auction for a median of $3,400, spanning $3,050 to $4,500. At $3,200 this one went 6% below 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

What does a clean title mean for this VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN?

Accepted Answer

This 2017 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN 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 4

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

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2017 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN. 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 139,659 miles high for a 2017 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2017 VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN listings at auction averaged 77,548 miles across 300 sales, so at 139,659 miles this one sits 80% 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 TIGUAN from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in PA - WEST MIFFLIN. The nearest major vehicle export port is Newark, roughly 150 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.
