Mercedes-Benz E300.

About this file

This is the Mercedes-Benz E300 shelf of the registry: 4,370 records of Mercedes-Benz E300 cars that have passed through Korean insurance auctions, spanning model years 2014 to 2027. It is one shelf of the wider Mercedes-Benz file, cut to a single model so the file can be read as one line of cars rather than one marque. Each record is kept exactly as it was filed and nothing more: the photographs where photographs were taken, the odometer reading, the fuel and displacement, the damage class the listing itself stated, and — on 2,017 of these cars — a VIN that can be read, decoded and checked against the car's paper trail.

Nothing on this shelf is for sale, and nothing on it is guessed. A record with no damage stamp is a record whose listing stated no damage class — not proof of a clean car, and we hold no price data to put beside it. The top of the file keeps moving: live Mercedes-Benz E300 lots surface here while the hammer is still up — 3 are on the block right now — and move into the permanent record when it falls.
