How much does the 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class cost?

Prices have softened 3.69% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,027 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class a good car?

Yes — 4.6/5 is a strong user rating, and owners consistently praise its classic styling, reliability, and comfortable drive. Many also highlight the performance of the 6-cylinder engine and the fun experience behind the wheel. In practical terms, that lines up well if you want a used luxury sedan that feels polished, spacious, and high-tech without losing everyday comfort. With 34.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a meaningful chance to find a competitive offer.

Is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to reliability, with shoppers describing it as dependable and comfortable over time. That said, a few owners have reported issues such as juddering brakes, glitchy infotainment, and dealership transparency concerns, so condition and maintenance history still matter. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is ending up with a car that has been poorly maintained or has unresolved electronic or brake-related problems.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

At 54.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, especially if a listing looks unusually well priced. Put inspection priority on bodywork, brake feel, infotainment operation, and signs of uneven wear or repair quality. Focus on overall condition and maintenance records, since those will tell you more than mileage alone on a used luxury sedan like this.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

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

• Deal availability: 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,027 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.69% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 54.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,825, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class's resale value?

The current average of $14,833 sits slightly below last year's $15,402.

That softer pricing suggests the model has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help if you buy now and plan to sell later. If the market stays steady, a lower entry price can reduce the amount of value you lose over your ownership period. Strong demand for well-kept examples should help support future resale, especially for cars with clean history and good maintenance records.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 54.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.69% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: The 2016 is a smart choice if you want the newer fifth-generation E-Class look and feel at a lower used price, especially if you can verify a clean, well-maintained example. If you are especially price-sensitive, a nearby year may offer a lower entry point, but you should still prioritize condition, history, and equipment over the model year alone.
