Question 1

What do front end 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 486 recorded sales of the 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE with front end damage, the median was $21,900, from $12,800 to $37,500. That is 5% below the $23,000 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $20,500 a good price for this 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE?

Accepted Answer

1124 comparable 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE listings sold at auction for a median of $23,000, spanning $12,300 to $41,250. At $20,500 this one went 11% 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

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

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE's pre-damage retail value at $33,609. It sold for $20,500 — 39% 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

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

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in LA - NEW ORLEANS. 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 5

Is 42,986 miles high for a 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE listings at auction averaged 56,535 miles across 1124 sales, so at 42,986 miles this one sits 24% 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 6

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

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE. 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.
