Question 1

Was $12,250 a good price for this 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS?

Accepted Answer

42 comparable 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS listings sold at auction for a median of $6,800, spanning $4,100 to $13,000. At $12,250 this one went 80% 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

This MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS sold without keys — does that matter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, usually. A missing key means the vehicle often cannot be started or moved under its own power at the yard, so its condition is harder to verify and buyers bid more cautiously. Replacing a modern key and reprogramming it to the immobiliser typically runs into the hundreds. It is one of the more common reasons an otherwise sound car sells below its comparables.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

This 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS was sold on a clear. A clean title means no total-loss brand was recorded at the point of sale, which is unusual at salvage auctions and typically lifts the price.

Question 4

Is 130,196 miles high for a 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS listings at auction averaged 103,440 miles across 42 sales, so at 130,196 miles this one sits 26% 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 IAAI in VA - VIRGINIA BEACH. The nearest major vehicle export port is Norfolk, roughly 120 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 6

Can I buy this 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS from AutoBidCar?

Accepted Answer

No. AutoBidCar is an archive of past auction listings, not a seller — we have never owned this vehicle. This 2021 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS was listed at IAAI as lot 42569412 and any sale happened there. We publish the record so buyers can research what comparable vehicles actually sold for.
