Question 1

What do front end 2016 BMW 5 SERIES models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 362 recorded sales of the 2016 BMW 5 SERIES with front end damage, the median was $4,200, from $3,150 to $6,800. That is 2% below the $4,300 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $5,000 a good price for this 2016 BMW 5 SERIES?

Accepted Answer

891 comparable 2016 BMW 5 SERIES listings sold at auction for a median of $4,300, spanning $3,150 to $7,000. At $5,000 this one went 16% above 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 mv-907a-ny mean for this BMW 5 SERIES?

Accepted Answer

This 2016 BMW 5 SERIES was sold on a mv-907a-ny. The title type is the auction's own classification and determines what can legally be done with the vehicle afterwards.

Question 4

How far is this BMW 5 SERIES from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in NY - MEDFORD. The nearest major vehicle export port is Newark, roughly 160 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.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2016 BMW 5 SERIES. 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 6

Is 79,701 miles high for a 2016 BMW 5 SERIES?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2016 BMW 5 SERIES listings at auction averaged 96,671 miles across 891 sales, so at 79,701 miles this one sits 18% 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.
