Question 1

Was $6,300 a good price for this 2011 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

21 comparable 2011 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS listings sold at auction for a median of $4,525, spanning $4,000 to $6,000. At $6,300 this one went 39% 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 E-CLASS sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2011 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS's pre-damage retail value at $17,248. It sold for $6,300 — 63% 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

What does a certificate of salvage mean for this MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

This 2011 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS was sold on a certificate of salvage. A salvage title means an insurer declared the vehicle a total loss. Repairing it and passing a state inspection can convert it to a rebuilt title, which stays on the record permanently and affects resale value.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in PA - PHILADELPHIA. The nearest major vehicle export port is Newark, roughly 150 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

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

Accepted Answer

RUNS AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2011 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.

Question 6

Is 13,630 miles high for a 2011 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2011 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS listings at auction averaged 104,973 miles across 21 sales, so at 13,630 miles this one sits 87% 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.
