Question 1

Was $20,700 a good price for this 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

1478 comparable 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE-CLASS listings sold at auction for a median of $8,600, spanning $4,650 to $14,300. At $20,700 this one went 141% 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 much below its undamaged value did this MERCEDES-BENZ GLE-CLASS sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE-CLASS's pre-damage retail value at $32,477. It sold for $20,700 — 36% 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 3

What does a certificate of salvage mean for this MERCEDES-BENZ GLE-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

This 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE-CLASS was sold on a certificate of salvage. A salvage title means an insurer declared the vehicle a total loss. Repairing it and passing a state inspection can convert it to a rebuilt title, which stays on the record permanently and affects resale value.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in PA - PHILADELPHIA. The nearest major vehicle export port is Newark, roughly 150 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 97,428 miles high for a 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE-CLASS?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE-CLASS listings at auction averaged 100,602 miles across 1478 sales, so at 97,428 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 6

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

Accepted Answer

RUNS AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE-CLASS. 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.
