Showing results 1 - 16 of 16
16 Mercedes-Benz Metris vans for sale across 15+ Copart locations — model years 2016–2023, avg. mileage 132,000 mi. 63% clean title, 38% salvage; Front End is the top damage (38%). Bids start at $200, and recent Mercedes-Benzes sold for a median winning bid around $4,400 before fees across the make.
The Metris is Mercedes-Benz's mid-size van, sold in the US since 2016 as a cargo hauler or passenger shuttle, and it's a light seller in this pool next to the sedans and SUVs that dominate the badge. 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. A commercial buyer chasing a work van tends to value a straight body and a clean drivetrain over cosmetic condition, which keeps demand steady even on higher-mileage lots. Most of these vans stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country by fleets and small businesses.
Under the hood every Metris runs the same turbocharged four-cylinder, rear-wheel drive by default with all-wheel drive optional on later years — there's no V6 or diesel option in this lineup, so mechanically it's a simpler inspection than most of the badge. That said, the turbo four is known to develop a rattly cold start as the timing chain wears, and on a van that's likely covered fleet miles, that noise deserves a closer look before you bid. Cargo-van lots are worth a walk through the load area for rust or fluid stains on the floor, since a van used for hauling often shows wear there before it shows anywhere else. Passenger versions carry more interior trim and electronics to check, particularly the seats and sliding-door mechanisms after a side-impact lot. Because commercial vans see hard use, a full maintenance history matters more here than it does on a typical passenger car — ask for it before you commit.
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 Metris vans in?
About 16 lots, 38% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End leads the damage board, and mileage averages around 132,000 — often higher than a typical passenger Mercedes-Benz, since many of these worked for a living.
Is a salvage Metris worth buying?
Often yes for a buyer who needs a work van and doesn't mind cosmetic damage, 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 van with a rattling turbo four and no maintenance history is where the math gets risky.
What should I check before bidding?
Listen for a rattle on cold start on the turbo four — that's the timing chain telling you it's due for service. Walk the cargo floor for rust or fluid stains, and on passenger versions test the seats and sliding doors. Cross-check the title brand against the damage photos; they don't always agree.
Can I insure and register a salvage Metris?
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 or put into commercial service. 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 Metris'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 fleet maintenance records if the seller has them.
