What do water/flood 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS models sell for?

Across 48 recorded sales of the 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS with water/flood damage, the median was $5,200, from $3,250 to $8,300. That is 15% below the $6,100 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Was $8,300 a good price for this 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS?

2330 comparable 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS listings sold at auction for a median of $6,100, spanning $3,600 to $10,600. At $8,300 this one went 36% above that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

How much below its undamaged value did this MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS sell for?

The insurer put this 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS's pre-damage retail value at $20,644. It sold for $8,300 — 60% below that. A gap this size is normal for auction vehicles: the buyer takes on the repair cost, the paperwork and the risk that damage is worse than the photos show.

How far is this MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS from an export port?

The lot sat at COPART in TX - HOUSTON. The nearest major vehicle export port is Houston, roughly 200 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $250-$350, 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.

What does "ENHANCED VEHICLES" mean on this listing?

ENHANCED VEHICLES is the auction's own condition note for this 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS. It marks a lot the auction has given extra listing prominence, not a statement about condition. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

Is 114,690 miles high for a 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS?

Comparable 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS listings at auction averaged 92,364 miles across 2330 sales, so at 114,690 miles this one sits 24% above 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.
