Question 1

Was $22,900 a good price for this 2015 MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS?

Accepted Answer

30 comparable 2015 MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS listings sold at auction for a median of $11,263, spanning $6,500 to $17,600. At $22,900 this one went 103% 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 S CLASS sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2015 MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS's pre-damage retail value at $43,693. It sold for $22,900 — 48% 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 cert of title-rebuilt (p) mean for this MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS?

Accepted Answer

This 2015 MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS was sold on a cert of title-rebuilt (p). 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 S CLASS from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in IL - ELGIN. The nearest major vehicle export port is Baltimore, roughly 700 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $450-$675, 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 "RUN AND DRIVES" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2015 MERCEDES-BENZ S 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 62,413 miles high for a 2015 MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2015 MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS listings at auction averaged 89,636 miles across 30 sales, so at 62,413 miles this one sits 30% 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.
