Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Across 13 recorded sales of the 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ SL-KLASSE with front end damage, the median was $11,050, from $3,350 to $16,500. That is 16% below the $13,100 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $14,500 a good price for this 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ SL-KLASSE?

Accepted Answer

33 comparable 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ SL-KLASSE listings sold at auction for a median of $13,100, spanning $5,400 to $20,300. At $14,500 this one went 11% 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 SL-KLASSE from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in CA - CARSON. The nearest major vehicle export port is Long Beach, roughly 200 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $250-$350, 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

This MERCEDES-BENZ SL-KLASSE has front end and right front damage — how does that affect it?

Accepted Answer

Damage recorded in two areas usually points to a heavier impact than either label suggests on its own, and it raises the odds of structural damage behind the panels. The auction records the primary and secondary areas only; it does not assess the frame. Photographs and, where available, a physical inspection are the only way to judge how far it goes.

Question 5

What does "NOT RUN" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

NOT RUN is the auction's own condition note for this 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ SL-KLASSE. 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

Is 53,377 miles high for a 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ SL-KLASSE?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2017 MERCEDES-BENZ SL-KLASSE listings at auction averaged 57,819 miles across 33 sales, so at 53,377 miles this one sits 8% 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.
