Question 1

What do minor dent/scratches 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 152 recorded sales of the 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS with minor dent/scratches damage, the median was $8,600, from $5,100 to $13,900. That is 13% above the $7,600 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $18,200 a good price for this 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

1991 comparable 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS listings sold at auction for a median of $7,600, spanning $4,200 to $11,800. At $18,200 this one went 139% 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

This MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS sold without keys — does that matter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, usually. A missing key means the vehicle often cannot be started or moved under its own power at the yard, so its condition is harder to verify and buyers bid more cautiously. Replacing a modern key and reprogramming it to the immobiliser typically runs into the hundreds. It is one of the more common reasons an otherwise sound car sells below its comparables.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS's pre-damage retail value at $19,125. It sold for $18,200 — 5% 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 5

Is 12,883 miles high for a 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS listings at auction averaged 91,795 miles across 1991 sales, so at 12,883 miles this one sits 86% 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

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

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in NC - RALEIGH NORTH. 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.
