Was $35,250 a good price for this 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS?

836 comparable 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS listings sold at auction for a median of $17,300, spanning $8,600 to $24,700. At $35,250 this one went 104% 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 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS's pre-damage retail value at $66,985. It sold for $35,250 — 47% 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 MD - BALTIMORE EAST. The nearest major vehicle export port is Baltimore, roughly 40 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.

Is 5,819 miles high for a 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS?

Comparable 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS listings at auction averaged 29,360 miles across 836 sales, so at 5,819 miles this one sits 80% 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.

What does "ENGINE START PROGRAM" mean on this listing?

ENGINE START PROGRAM is the auction's own condition note for this 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS. It is a short status flag applied by the auction, not the result of a mechanical inspection. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.
