Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Metris worth?
A 2018 Mercedes-Benz Metris has a median retail value of $17,564, with most appraised between $14,867 and $20,125. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $3,850 across 9 recent sales — the middle 50% between $3,000 and $7,000.
Why is the 2018 Mercedes-Benz Metris so cheap at auction?
Because auction lots are not retail cars. Most carry collision or flood damage, a salvage or rebuilt title, or are dealer-only liquidations sold as-is with no warranty. For the 2018 Mercedes-Benz Metris that gap runs about 4.6× — $17,564 retail against a $3,850 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
