Question 2

Was $24,000 a good price for this 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS?

Accepted Answer

315 comparable 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS listings sold at auction for a median of $14,625, spanning $7,300 to $24,000. At $24,000 this one went 64% 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

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

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS's pre-damage retail value at $77,921. It sold for $24,000 — 69% 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 4

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

Accepted Answer

This 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS was sold on a salvage certificate. 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 5

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

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in MD - WALDORF. 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 6

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS. It is a short status flag applied by the auction, not the result of a mechanical inspection. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.
