What does a cert of title slvg rebuildable mean for this MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS?

This 2012 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS was sold on a cert of title slvg rebuildable. The title type is the auction's own classification and determines what can legally be done with the vehicle afterwards.

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

RUNS AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2012 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.

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

The lot sat at COPART in FL - JACKSONVILLE NORTH. The nearest major vehicle export port is Jacksonville, 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.

Is 62,003 miles high for a 2012 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS?

Comparable 2012 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS listings at auction averaged 96,846 miles across 19 sales, so at 62,003 miles this one sits 36% 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.
