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

Prices have softened 8.96% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 264 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

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

Yes — with a user rating of 5/5, this model year clearly resonates with shoppers. The overview points to a rare mix of old-school, military-derived toughness and luxury, plus serious off-road hardware and a cabin that feels upscale rather than utilitarian. If you want an SUV that feels like an icon and still delivers real capability, this one fits that use case well. 37.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class reliable?

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

The overview also suggests a vehicle built around proven, rugged hardware rather than a soft-road formula, which is part of its appeal. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is not whether it feels special, but whether you are prepared for the higher upkeep that comes with it.

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

At 63.6% 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 reported damage was cosmetic or structural. Put inspection priority on the body, frame, and undercarriage, since this model’s appeal depends heavily on condition and originality. Focus on signs of wear that could point to hard use, because a rugged SUV like this can hide expensive issues if you only judge it by appearance.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer's market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 37.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 264 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.96% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 63.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $59,707, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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

The current average of $59,928 sits slightly below last year's $65,827.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to give buyers more leverage today, but it also means future sellers may need to price competitively to move a used example. Because this model has strong enthusiast appeal and a distinctive identity, well-kept examples should still draw attention. Condition, history, and presentation will matter a lot if you want to protect your resale position.

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 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-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:

• 37.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 63.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.96% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: The 2016 is a strong choice if you want the classic G-Class formula and you can find a clean, well-priced example. If you are especially price-sensitive, it makes sense to compare nearby years and focus on the best-maintained truck rather than chasing the newest badge alone.
