Question 1

Was $3,450 a good price for this 2016 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG?

Accepted Answer

89 comparable 2016 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG listings sold at auction for a median of $4,500, spanning $3,200 to $8,200. At $3,450 this one went 23% 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 2

What does a salvage mean for this VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG?

Accepted Answer

This 2016 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG 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.

Question 3

How far is this VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in NC - CASTLE HAYNE. The nearest major vehicle export port is Charleston, roughly 280 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $250-$325, 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 2016 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG. 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 100,587 miles high for a 2016 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2016 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG listings at auction averaged 111,215 miles across 89 sales, so at 100,587 miles this one sits 10% 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 2016 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG?

Accepted Answer

The listing seller was NORTH CAROLINA FARM BUREAU INSURANCE GROUP. 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.
