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

Prices have softened 1.23% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,023 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

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

Yes — the 4.64/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its classic styling, reliability, and comfortable drive, and many also highlight the performance of the 6-cylinder engine and the fun experience behind the wheel. That lines up well with the E-Class’s role as a used luxury sedan that still feels highly modern, with a high-tech cabin and generous standard equipment. With 32.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a meaningful chance to find one that fits your budget.

Is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class reliable?

Owners rate it 4.64/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owners describe it as reliable and appreciate its generally good build quality, while also calling out a comfortable, trouble-free driving experience in many cases. The strongest reliability takeaway is that this model year has enough owner confidence to stand out in the used luxury segment, even if some shoppers should still watch for reported brake judder, infotainment glitches, and early E300 piston concerns. For used buyers, that means the long-term ownership risk is manageable if you verify condition carefully before you commit.

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

At 54.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from cars with prior damage or repeated claims. After that, prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially on braking behavior, infotainment operation, and overall interior and exterior condition. Because this is a luxury sedan, small condition issues can matter more than they would on a mainstream car, so focus on how well the car has been maintained and whether the listing details match the car’s actual state.

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

This is a moderate market, so you can be selective without expecting a deep bargain on every listing.

• Deal availability: 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,023 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.23% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 54.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,997, 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 $15,456 sits slightly below last year's $15,648.

That softer pricing suggests the model has already absorbed some of its near-term depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price. If you choose a well-kept example, you may have a better chance of limiting further value loss than if you overpay for a higher-mileage or condition-compromised car. Strong demand for a luxury sedan with broad appeal can also help support pricing when it’s time to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.64/5, 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:

• 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 54.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.23% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.64/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: The 2016 is a strong choice if you want the newer-feeling version of this generation with modern styling, a high-tech cabin, and broad owner approval. If your priority is stretching your budget further, a nearby year may be worth comparing, but the 2016 stands out as the better pick when you want a balance of value, features, and buyer confidence.
