What do side 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS models sell for?

Across 170 recorded sales of the 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS with side damage, the median was $5,250, from $3,500 to $8,400. That is 5% above the $5,000 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Was $5,500 a good price for this 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS?

2105 comparable 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS listings sold at auction for a median of $5,000, spanning $3,350 to $8,000. At $5,500 this one went 10% above that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

This MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS sold without keys — does that matter?

Yes, usually. A missing key means the vehicle often cannot be started or moved under its own power at the yard, so its condition is harder to verify and buyers bid more cautiously. Replacing a modern key and reprogramming it to the immobiliser typically runs into the hundreds. It is one of the more common reasons an otherwise sound car sells below its comparables.

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

The lot sat at COPART in WA - NORTH SEATTLE. The nearest major vehicle export port is Tacoma, roughly 60 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.

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

The insurer put this 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS's pre-damage retail value at $15,312. It sold for $5,500 — 64% 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.

What does "ENHANCED VEHICLES" mean on this listing?

ENHANCED VEHICLES is the auction's own condition note for this 2016 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.
