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

Half of the 1,630 verified odometer readings sit above 89,829 mi and half below it.

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

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

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

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

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