Question 1

What do front end 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 26 recorded sales of the 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS with front end damage, the median was $5,300, from $3,150 to $7,100. That is level with the $5,325 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $6,350 a good price for this 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS?

Accepted Answer

98 comparable 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS listings sold at auction for a median of $5,325, spanning $3,200 to $8,400. At $6,350 this one went 19% 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

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

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in NY - BUFFALO. The nearest major vehicle export port is Newark, roughly 160 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 4

Is 80,478 miles high for a 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS listings at auction averaged 121,856 miles across 98 sales, so at 80,478 miles this one sits 34% 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

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

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2017 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.

Question 6

Who sold this 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS?

Accepted Answer

The listing seller was GEICO. 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.
