Question 2

Was $8,600 a good price for this 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS?

Accepted Answer

150 comparable 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS listings sold at auction for a median of $5,850, spanning $3,500 to $9,000. At $8,600 this one went 47% 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 3

What does a salvage title mean for this MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS?

Accepted Answer

This 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS was sold on a salvage title. 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

Is 146,454 miles high for a 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS listings at auction averaged 132,921 miles across 150 sales, so at 146,454 miles this one sits 10% above 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

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

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in IL - ELGIN. The nearest major vehicle export port is Baltimore, roughly 700 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $450-$675, 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 "RUN AND DRIVES" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS. 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.
