Does the model year change what a Mercedes-Benz 260 sells for at auction?

Are these final bids what a repaired Mercedes-Benz 260 would sell for?

No. These are auction results for damaged or salvage Mercedes-Benz 260 vehicles — the price at the close of the sale, before transport, fees and repair. Retail value sits well above them.
