Question 2

Was $17,000 a good price for this 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

2005 comparable 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS listings sold at auction for a median of $7,500, spanning $4,150 to $11,500. At $17,000 this one went 127% 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

What does a cert of title mean for this MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

This 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS was sold on a cert of title. The title type is the auction's own classification and determines what can legally be done with the vehicle afterwards.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in MD - BALTIMORE. 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.

Question 5

Is 70,930 miles high for a 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS listings at auction averaged 91,631 miles across 2005 sales, so at 70,930 miles this one sits 23% 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

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

Accepted Answer

RUNS AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E-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.
