Accepted Answer

Across 248 recorded sales of the 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS with rear end damage, the median was $7,300, from $4,100 to $11,400. That is 6% above the $6,900 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $12,900 a good price for this 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

2096 comparable 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS listings sold at auction for a median of $6,900, spanning $4,150 to $11,000. At $12,900 this one went 87% 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 dealer only clean title mean for this MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

This 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS was sold on a dealer only clean title. A clean title means no total-loss brand was recorded at the point of sale, which is unusual at salvage auctions and typically lifts the price.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

RUNS AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS. 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 5

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

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in NC - RALEIGH. The nearest major vehicle export port is Charleston, roughly 280 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $250-$325, 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 6

Is 43,249 miles high for a 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS listings at auction averaged 81,356 miles across 2096 sales, so at 43,249 miles this one sits 47% 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.
