The lot description does not indicate why the VIN was damaged on the Mercedes-Maybach GLS. The SUV was probably stolen, the intruders changed the identification number, and then were found. It is assumed that representatives of the insurance company decided to sell the car through Copart.
The price of exactly the same “Maybach” in the showroom is about 190 thousand dollars, but because of the broken VIN-code, the SUV will be auctioned off at least one and a half times cheaper. It is possible that the new owner will be able to recover the identification number, since Copart has documents confirming a difficult history. However, the more likely option is to export to another country with the aim of subsequent sale at a market price.
The SUV has no technical problems – under the hood is a 557-horsepower (730 Nm) petrol V8 with a volume of 4.0 liters, there is air suspension and four-wheel drive, and the interior is designed for four people. Since the prices for Mercedes-Maybach GLS in the USA start at 160 thousand dollars, the car is equipped almost to the maximum.
