Question 1

Accepted Answer

Across 13 recorded sales of the 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC with hail damage, the median was $8,300, from $4,950 to $10,100. That is 33% above the $6,225 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $5,500 a good price for this 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC?

Accepted Answer

781 comparable 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC listings sold at auction for a median of $6,225, spanning $3,950 to $8,800. At $5,500 this one went 12% below 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

This MERCEDES-BENZ GLC sold without keys — does that matter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, usually. A missing key means the vehicle often cannot be started or moved under its own power at the yard, so its condition is harder to verify and buyers bid more cautiously. Replacing a modern key and reprogramming it to the immobiliser typically runs into the hundreds. It is one of the more common reasons an otherwise sound car sells below its comparables.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC's pre-damage retail value at $10,500. It sold for $5,500 — 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 5

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

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in TX - GRAND PRAIRIE. The nearest major vehicle export port is Houston, roughly 200 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $250-$350, 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 a clean title mean for this MERCEDES-BENZ GLC?

Accepted Answer

This 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC was sold on a clean title. A clean title means no total-loss brand was recorded at the point of sale, which is unusual at salvage auctions and typically lifts the price.
