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

Prices have softened 5.79% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 280 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

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

Yes — 5/5 is a strong user rating for this model year, and the overview backs up why it appeals to shoppers who want a vehicle with rare character and serious off-road hardware. You get a boxy, military-rooted design, luxury-car presence, and a powerful V8-focused lineup, plus the standout G500 4×4² for buyers who care about extreme capability. If you want an SUV that feels distinctive and highly capable rather than conventional, this model year fits that brief well. With 31.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have 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 says later G550 and AMG G63 models are more reliable than earlier versions, but they still require costly upkeep. That means you should expect a premium ownership experience with premium maintenance demands, especially if you plan to keep the vehicle for the long haul.

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

At 66.1% 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 trucks with prior damage or repeated claims. After that, prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, with extra attention to body condition, signs of off-road use, and evidence of deferred maintenance. Because this model is expensive to buy and expensive to keep, condition matters more than usual when you compare listings.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you know what you want.

• Deal availability: 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 280 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.79% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 66.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $60,209, 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 $62,805 sits slightly below last year's $66,662.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to give you a better entry point than a year ago. For a future seller, that can help if you buy well and keep the truck in strong condition, because you are starting from a lower acquisition cost. The key is to avoid overpaying now, since resale value will depend heavily on how clean, well-documented, and well-maintained your example is.

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:

• 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 66.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.79% 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 with rare character, serious off-road ability, and a market that currently gives you some negotiating room. If your priority is stretching your budget, a different year may make sense, but if you want this specific blend of presence and capability, the 2016 is the better target when you find a clean, well-priced example.
