Auction archive FAQ

How much auction history is there for Mercedes-Benz 260?

What is the average final bid for Mercedes-Benz 260 at auction?

Across 12 recorded USD sales the median final bid is $413, with the average pulled to $875 by the outliers at either end.

What damage do most Mercedes-Benz 260 auction lots carry?

front end leads, on 42% of the auctions — worth knowing before you read the low end of the sold-price range.

What should I pay for a salvage Mercedes-Benz 260?

Work from the median final bid on this page, then adjust for the repair in front of you. A Mercedes-Benz 260 with light front-end damage and keys sits near the top of the sold-price range; a water loss without keys sits at the bottom.

Does the model year change what a Mercedes-Benz 260 sells for at auction?

Usually yes, and not evenly. Open the year links to see where the Mercedes-Benz 260 final-bid curve flattens — that flat stretch is where salvage buying tends to pay best.

Are these final bids what a repaired Mercedes-Benz 260 would sell for?

No. These are auction results for damaged or salvage Mercedes-Benz 260 vehicles — the price at the close of the sale, before transport, fees and repair. Retail value sits well above them.
