Parameter	Details
Based on	952 similar vehicles sold at auction from 12/04/2025 to 06/02/2026 with a verified Run & Drive status.
How it works	We exclude outliers — fully burned-out vehicles, flood-damaged stripped shells, and lightly damaged near-retail units — so the estimate reflects what buyers actually pay for comparable salvage cars.
Not included	Auction fees, shipping, and taxes. This is the winning bid amount only.

What It Means	Facts and Risks
Description	Fact: Signs of normal operational wear documented, consistent with vehicle age and mileage. Nature: seat scuffs, minor body scratches, pedal wear, steering wheel wear, natural material aging.
What It Includes	Typical Signs: • Light seat upholstery scuffs • Minor paint chips from stones • Pedal rubber cover wear • Steering wheel, shifter wear • Minor plastic fading • Wear correspondence to vehicle age and mileage Important: Normal wear is a natural condition of a used vehicle.
Buyer Risks	⚠️ Be cautious: On new vehicles or premium-class vehicles with minimal mileage, normal wear may be atypical. There may be situations where more serious damage is hidden under the guise of normal wear. Important: Vehicles with minimal damage at insurance auctions require special attention. Purchasing without inspection and detailed reports is not recommended. Honest lot: If wear truly corresponds to age and mileage — this is normal condition of a used vehicle.
Condition Impact	Fact: Normal wear is not a defect — it's a sign of vehicle use. Doesn't Affect: safety, reliability, functionality. Important: Absence of wear on an old vehicle may be suspicious (rolled back odometer).
Expert Recommendations	✓ Check correspondence: wear should match vehicle age and mileage. ⚠️ Be cautious: on new or premium vehicles with minimal mileage — additional verification required. ✓ Order inspection: for vehicles with atypical wear — detailed check recommended. ✓ Study VIN report: repair history helps assess actual condition. ✓ Honest lot: if wear corresponds to age and mileage — optimal auction choice.

What It Means	Facts and Risks
Description	Fact: Mechanical malfunctions documented without specifying the system. Engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, steering may be affected. Nature: from minor problems to serious failures.
What to Check in Photos	Photo Limitations: Mechanical malfunctions are rarely visible in static images. Indirect Signs: • Oil, fluid leak marks • Visible suspension damage • Uneven tire wear Important: Without diagnostics, it's impossible to identify the exact problem.
Possible Problems	Minor: consumables replacement, minor repairs. Medium: suspension repair, clutch replacement, brake discs. Serious: engine overhaul, transmission replacement, steering rack repair. Important: The vague "MECHANICAL" mark doesn't provide understanding of problem scale.
Advantages of Such Lots	✓ Intact body: Typically, vehicle without accident — intact geometry, all safety systems, airbags not deployed. ✓ Most often: Engine or transmission fails, which can be fixed by repair or replacement. ✓ Swap possibility: Engine or transmission swap is often economically justified — worth estimating swap cost in your country.
Buyer Risks	Unpredictable Costs: Without diagnostics, it's impossible to estimate repair cost. Parts Availability: For rare models, finding parts may be problematic.
Expert Recommendations	✓ Study all available photos: leak marks, suspension damage, tire wear. ✓ Check VIN report: repair and service history helps assess scale. ✓ Find out "Run & Drive" status: whether vehicle starts, whether it's drivable. ✓ Estimate swap cost: engine or transmission replacement in your country — often economically justified. ⚠️ Budget for repair: costs may be significant, but intact body is an advantage.

Status	Facts and Risks
Intact (Intact)	Fact: Visually, airbag installation points (steering wheel, dashboard, trim) appear intact. No signs of deployment detected during external inspection. Risk: The inspector does not disassemble the interior. An airbag might be missing (cut out) or replaced with a dummy/resistor under an intact panel.
Deployed (Deployed)	Fact: Deployment of one or more airbags has been recorded. Risk: Carefully study interior photos to identify which specific airbags deployed (steering wheel, curtains, dash). We recommend making your own repair estimate based on visible damage.
Not Verified (Not Verified / Missing)	Fact: Inspector could not access the interior (vehicle locked/no keys) or airbags are dismantled. Risk: Maximum uncertainty. When budgeting, assume the worst-case scenario — complete absence of the safety system.

Metric	Description
ACV (Actual Cash Value)	The estimated market value of the vehicle in the U.S. at the time it was written off by the insurance company. Use: Helps assess the real value of the car before damage.
ERC (Estimated Repair Cost)	The insurer's preliminary estimate of repair costs for the U.S. market. Use: A general indicator for budgeting restoration costs.

Factory Equipment & Specs 3KPFL4A78HE002988

Features Specs

Type	Description & Risks
Insurance Company	The most reliable seller type. Vehicles are sold after an insurance claim payout. Usually sold "as is" — without hidden repairs or defect masking before being listed on the insurance auto auction.
Dealer (Reseller)	Sold by an intermediary. Warning: High risk of poor-quality pre-sale repairs (cosmetic cover-ups) to conceal actual damage. An independent inspection is mandatory.
Rental Company	Vehicles from rental fleets. Often repaired at the company's expense (Self-Insured) without being reported to databases. Risk: History reports may show "No Accidents" and a Clean Title, while hiding actual repairs. The price is higher, but the history may be incomplete. Inspection is required.
Not-Insurance (Bank / Private / Other)	Banks, leasing companies, or private parties (Dealer / Reseller). Damage history may not be obvious. A detailed check is recommended; we do not recommend buying without an inspection.

Rate	Coverage
1%	Covers total loss only during transportation. Any new damage that occurs in transit is not covered.
2.5%	Covers total loss and new damage that occurs from the moment the vehicle is accepted at the U.S. warehouse until it arrives at the port of discharge. Deductible: USD 200. Compensation is calculated based on the average market cost of repairs and replacement parts (new or used, depending on the most economically reasonable option). Official dealer pricing is not used.
