How much does the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class cost?

Prices have softened 11.52% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 687 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to very strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its elegance, luxury, performance, workmanship, comfort, and reliability, and the overview reinforces that this is a full-size luxury sedan built around a deeply polished cabin and advanced technology. If you want a flagship sedan that emphasizes refinement and usability, this model year fits that use case well. With 34.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still meaningful market opportunity if you shop carefully.

Is the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary specifically highlights reliability alongside comfort and workmanship, which suggests this car can be a dependable choice when it has been well maintained. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about the rating and more about the cost of keeping a complex luxury sedan in top condition.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?

At 60.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a full vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from cars with prior damage. After that, prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on bodywork quality, panel alignment, and signs of incomplete repairs. Because this is a high-end luxury sedan, condition matters a lot, so pay close attention to how well the interior, electronics, and exterior presentation have been preserved.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?

This looks like a moderate market where selective buyers can still find value if they compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 34.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 687 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.52% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $20,119, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class's resale value?

The current average of $20,119 sits slightly below last year's $22,739.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently now but may also limit short-term upside if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the key is to buy a well-kept example at the right price so depreciation has less room to work against you. Strong condition and a clean history should matter more than chasing the cheapest listing.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 34.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.52% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: You should focus on the 2014 if you want a luxury flagship with strong owner approval and a softer price than it had a year ago. If you are especially price-sensitive, a nearby year may be worth comparing, but the 2014 remains a compelling choice when you find a clean, well-priced example.

How does the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class compare to the 2014 BMW 7 Series?

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class asks more on the used market, but it also gives you a much larger pool of listings to shop from. If you want broader selection and a stronger owner-satisfaction signal, the S-Class is the more compelling pick; if your top priority is lower entry price, the 7 Series may be the better value target.
