Question 1

Was $3,250 a good price for this 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS?

Accepted Answer

163 comparable 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS listings sold at auction for a median of $6,400, spanning $3,450 to $10,900. At $3,250 this one went 49% 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 2

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

Accepted Answer

This 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS was sold on a 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 3

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

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in ID - STOCKTON. The nearest major vehicle export port is Tacoma, roughly 500 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $425-$600, 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 232,722 miles high for a 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS listings at auction averaged 127,578 miles across 163 sales, so at 232,722 miles this one sits 82% 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

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS. It is a short status flag applied by the auction, not the result of a mechanical inspection. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

Question 6

Did this 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS come with keys?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this lot was listed with keys present, which usually means the vehicle could at least be started or moved at the yard. Combined with right side damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.
