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

Prices have softened 7.27% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 711 listings available, which suggests you have a workable amount of inventory to compare.

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

Yes — the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class earns a 5/5 user rating, and owners consistently praise its elegance, luxury, and performance. They also highlight the exceptional workmanship and comfort, which fits a flagship sedan aimed at buyers who want a deeply opulent cabin and advanced technology. For shoppers who want a full-size luxury sedan that feels special years later, that combination is a strong fit. With 31.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is also some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?

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

Owners describe it as reliable and appreciate the comfort and workmanship, which points to a car that can feel dependable when properly maintained. The overall ownership picture is still shaped by the model’s complexity, so long-term risk for used buyers is less about basic durability and more about keeping up with maintenance on an expensive luxury sedan.

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

At 57.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any prior damage was repaired properly. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on suspension behavior, electrical operation, and any signs of deferred maintenance, since those areas matter most on a complex luxury sedan. It also helps to prioritize overall condition and service records, because a well-kept example is more likely to deliver the ownership experience you want.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile options.

• Deal availability: 31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 711 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.27% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 57.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $21,171, 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 $21,331 sits slightly below last year's $23,002.

That decline suggests the market has become a bit softer, which can work against future resale if you buy at the wrong price. On the other hand, the current range gives you a clearer benchmark for negotiating and may help you avoid overpaying today. If you keep the car in strong condition and maintain it well, you can improve your odds of holding value better than a neglected example.

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:

• 31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 57.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.27% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest value play, the 2014 is appealing because prices have eased and owner satisfaction is excellent. If you are especially price-sensitive, you may want to compare nearby years and focus on the cleanest, best-documented example rather than chasing the cheapest badge on the lot.
