Repairable, Salvage and Damaged Hyundai Kona for Sale
Showing results 1 - 24 of 281
281 Hyundai Kona lots for sale across 120+ Copart locations — model years 2018–2026, avg. mileage 53,000 mi. 11% clean title, 82% salvage; Front End is the top damage (54%). Bids start at $200; too few Konas sell here to set their own median, but recent Hyundais overall cleared around $2,000 before fees.
The Kona is Hyundai's subcompact crossover, on sale since 2018 alongside the separate battery-electric Kona Electric, and it doesn't turn up in volume at Hyundai's auction the way the Elantra or Tucson do. With so few sold here, there's nothing model-specific to point to on price — the make-wide picture is the closest guide, and recent Hyundais sold for a median winning bid near $2,000 before fees, most between $1,100 and $3,950 depending on damage and mileage. A clean-shelled Kona with a healthy drivetrain tends to land on the stronger end of that range. Most stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
Two gas engines power the Kona: a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter and a turbocharged 1.6-liter GDI, the latter paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. That dual-clutch is worth driving before you commit — Hyundai's dry DCTs from this era, used across several models, carry a documented shudder or hesitation complaint at low speed, and a service update exists for exactly that fix. The 1.6T also sits in the GDI-engine family Hyundai covers under its knock-sensor monitoring campaign, so check for open recalls on the VIN. It's a small unibody crossover, so a front hit that reaches the subframe is the one that gets expensive fast, and available all-wheel drive adds a rear differential worth inspecting on any lot marked with rear-end damage. When a lot's not worth fixing, non-repairable Kona lots still go for the drivetrain, wheels and interior.
Buying is quick: register free — no dealer license — set a maximum bid and the system bids up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
Note: ACV and damage data come from the original auction listing. Always check the condition and title yourself before you bid.
FAQ
What condition are these Konas in?
About 281 lots, 82% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Most are the SUV body, and Front End leads the damage board at 54%.
Is a salvage Kona worth buying?
Often yes on a straight subframe with a healthy drivetrain — parts are common since the platform's shared widely. There's no Kona-specific median here, but recent Hyundais overall sold for around $2,000 before fees, most between $1,100 and $3,950. A bent subframe, a DCT with an unresolved shudder complaint, or a title brand that doesn't match the photos is where the math stops working.
What should I check before bidding?
Subframe and steering on any front hit, since it's a small unibody crossover. On 1.6T cars with the dual-clutch, listen or ask about low-speed shudder — it's a documented issue with a service fix. Check for open recalls tied to Hyundai's GDI knock-sensor campaign before you bid.
Can I insure and register a salvage Kona?
Only after it's rebuilt and passes a state inspection — then most insurers will cover it, just not the company that paid the original claim. While it's salvage-titled it can't be road-registered. Check with your insurer before you bid.
How does the auction work?
Register free, no dealer license. Set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
How do I check a Kona's history before bidding?
Every lot shows the VIN, damage type and title brand. Run the VIN through a vehicle-history report for prior accidents and open recalls before you commit.
