Question 1

Was $25,250 a good price for this 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ C-KLASSE?

Accepted Answer

822 comparable 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ C-KLASSE listings sold at auction for a median of $17,400, spanning $8,400 to $25,150. At $25,250 this one went 45% 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 2

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

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ C-KLASSE's pre-damage retail value at $45,485. It sold for $25,250 — 44% 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 3

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

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in OH - COLUMBIA STATION. The nearest major vehicle export port is Baltimore, roughly 430 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $375-$525, 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 4

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

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ C-KLASSE. 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

Is 23,063 miles high for a 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ C-KLASSE?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ C-KLASSE listings at auction averaged 30,310 miles across 822 sales, so at 23,063 miles this one sits 24% 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

Who sold this 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ C-KLASSE?

Accepted Answer

The listing seller was GEICO. Seller type is a useful signal: insurers typically consign total-loss vehicles, rental and fleet operators consign on a cycle regardless of damage, and dealers consign trade-ins they do not want to retail. Each implies a different history behind the same damage label.
