Was $4,350 a good price for this 2012 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS?

20 comparable 2012 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS listings sold at auction for a median of $4,825, spanning $4,150 to $6,950. At $4,350 this one went 10% below 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 E-CLASS sell for?

The insurer put this 2012 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS's pre-damage retail value at $14,734. It sold for $4,350 — 70% 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 E-CLASS from an export port?

The lot sat at COPART in VA - RICHMOND. The nearest major vehicle export port is Norfolk, roughly 120 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.

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

RUNS AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2012 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.

Is 46,125 miles high for a 2012 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS?

Comparable 2012 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS listings at auction averaged 79,384 miles across 20 sales, so at 46,125 miles this one sits 42% 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.

Did this 2012 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS come with keys?

Yes — this lot was listed with keys present, which usually means the vehicle could at least be started or moved at the yard. Combined with side damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.
