Question 1

Accepted Answer

Across 28 recorded sales of the 2020 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS with water/flood damage, the median was $8,100, from $5,900 to $12,600. That is 12% below the $9,200 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $10,500 a good price for this 2020 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

888 comparable 2020 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS listings sold at auction for a median of $9,200, spanning $4,700 to $14,900. At $10,500 this one went 14% 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

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

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2020 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS's pre-damage retail value at $30,786. It sold for $10,500 — 66% 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.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in NY - LONG ISLAND. 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

Is 28,145 miles high for a 2020 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2020 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS listings at auction averaged 56,076 miles across 888 sales, so at 28,145 miles this one sits 50% 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.

Question 6

This MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS has water/flood and minor dent/scratches damage — how does that affect it?

Accepted Answer

Damage recorded in two areas usually points to a heavier impact than either label suggests on its own, and it raises the odds of structural damage behind the panels. The auction records the primary and secondary areas only; it does not assess the frame. Photographs and, where available, a physical inspection are the only way to judge how far it goes.
