How much is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class worth?
A 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class has a median retail value of $11,740, with most appraised between $9,425 and $13,948. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $2,050 across 7 recent sales — the middle 50% between $1,450 and $4,025.
Why is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class so cheap at auction?
