The middle half of sales ran from $2,550 to $8,700, a 3.4x spread, so the damage on the car matters far more than the badge.

Wrecked 2016 Mercedes-Benz S questions

How much is a wrecked 2016 Mercedes-Benz S worth?

Most sold for $2,550 to $8,700 at US auctions over the last 6 months, with a median of $5,200 across 95 sales. Where yours lands depends on the damage, whether it runs, mileage and title.

Does it matter if my 2016 Mercedes-Benz S still runs?

Yes. 68% of the ones sold still ran and drove. Runners with light damage sell toward the top of the range; non-runners, flood and fire cars sell toward the bottom.

Should I part out my wrecked 2016 Mercedes-Benz S or sell it whole?

At a median of $5,200, it depends on which parts survived. Parting out grosses more on paper, but time, fees and the leftover shell eat into it; selling whole pays this week.

Can I sell a 2016 Mercedes-Benz S with a salvage title?

Yes. Buyers of damaged cars handle salvage titles every day and price the brand in. A missing title narrows the pool of buyers more than a salvage brand does, and state rules decide who can buy a car without one.
