Repairable, Salvage and Damaged Mercedes-benz Gl-class for Sale
Showing results 1 - 24 of 137
137 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class SUVs for sale across 80+ Copart locations — model years 2007–2016, avg. mileage 155,000 mi. 69% clean title, 28% salvage; Front End is the top damage (26%). Bids start at $200, and recent Mercedes-Benzes sold for a median winning bid around $4,400 before fees across the make.
The GL-Class was Mercedes' original full-size, three-row SUV before Mercedes renamed the nameplate to GLS in 2016, and it's a light seller in this pool now that the badge has moved on. Too few trade here in a given stretch to print a reliable per-model median, so pricing leans on the make-wide number: recent Mercedes-Benzes sold for a median winning bid around $4,400 before fees, and an older full-size SUV like this typically lands under that mark unless it's an unusually clean, low-mile example. Most of these SUVs stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
The X164 (2007–2012) is the only generation sold here under the GL name, and its BlueTEC diesel option is worth extra scrutiny — the GL320 and GL350 CDI's fuel injectors are known to foul or wear prematurely on vehicles that sat idle or ran mostly short trips, so ask about driving habits and injector service history before bidding on a diesel lot. Gasoline V8 versions are generally straightforward, though a car this size and age deserves a close look at the air suspension if it's equipped, since a compressor or strut failure on a full-size SUV is an expensive fix. Third-row seating is standard, so check the folding mechanism and rear climate controls for damage on any lot with interior or rear-end damage listed. 4MATIC all-wheel drive comes standard across the lineup and adds a transfer case worth inspecting on any lot with underbody damage. When the drivetrain or interior is too far gone to justify a full rebuild, a GL lot still holds value for its trim, glass and running gear.
Buying is quick: register free — no dealer license — set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
Note: ACV and damage data come from the original auction listing. Always check the condition and title yourself before you bid.
FAQ
What condition are these GL-Classes in?
About 137 lots, 28% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End leads the damage board, and mileage averages around 155,000. All sit in the SUV body.
Is a salvage GL worth buying?
Often yes if the diesel injectors and air suspension both check out, though too few sell here for a per-model median. Recent Mercedes-Benzes sold for a median winning bid near $4,400 before fees across the make. A BlueTEC diesel with unknown injector history, or a car sitting low on air suspension, is where the math gets shaky.
What should I check before bidding?
On a BlueTEC diesel, ask about injector history and driving patterns first. On any GL, check ride height for air-suspension trouble and test the third-row seat mechanism. Cross-check the title brand against the damage photos; they don't always agree.
Can I insure and register a salvage GL-Class?
Only after it's rebuilt and passes a state inspection — then most insurers will cover it, just not the company that totaled it. While it's salvage-titled it can't be road-registered. Check with your insurer before you bid.
How does the auction work?
Register free, no dealer license needed. Set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
How do I check a GL's history before bidding?
Every lot shows the VIN, damage type and title brand. Run the VIN through a vehicle-history report for prior accidents, mileage and title events, and ask for injector service records on any diesel.
