How many miles do Mercedes-Benz 280 cars have when sold at auction?

Half of the 35 verified odometer readings sit above 71,104 mi and half below it.

What should I pay for a salvage Mercedes-Benz 280?

Work from the median final bid on this page, then adjust for the repair in front of you. A Mercedes-Benz 280 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 280 sells for at auction?

Usually yes, and not evenly. Open the year links to see where the Mercedes-Benz 280 final-bid curve flattens — that flat stretch is where salvage buying tends to pay best.

Are these final bids what a repaired Mercedes-Benz 280 would sell for?

No. These are auction results for damaged or salvage Mercedes-Benz 280 vehicles — the price at the close of the sale, before transport, fees and repair. Retail value sits well above them.
