Question 1

Was $16,700 a good price for this 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB?

Accepted Answer

413 comparable 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB listings sold at auction for a median of $12,000, spanning $6,100 to $16,825. At $16,700 this one went 39% 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 far is this MERCEDES-BENZ GLB from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in LA - SCOTT. The nearest major vehicle export port is New Orleans, roughly 130 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 3

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

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB. 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 4

Is 31,267 miles high for a 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB listings at auction averaged 32,268 miles across 413 sales, so at 31,267 miles this one sits 3% 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.

Question 5

Did this 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB come with keys?

Accepted Answer

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 electrical damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.

Question 6

Who sold this 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB?

Accepted Answer

The listing seller was LOUISIANA FARM BUREAU. Seller type is a useful signal: insurers typically consign total-loss vehicles, rental and fleet operators consign on a cycle regardless of damage, and dealers consign trade-ins they do not want to retail. Each implies a different history behind the same damage label.
