What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Hyundai Kona Se Connect Gdi Hev S-A sits 11.8 points above the national average, ranked 929 of 2,005 models.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.
