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

Prices have softened 10.87% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 957 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare on price and condition.

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

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a compelling luxury sedan if you want a car that emphasizes comfort, technology, and performance, though you should weigh its ownership costs carefully. It earns a user rating of 3.92/5.

Drivers commonly praise its luxurious feel, advanced amenities, and great handling, and many also point to its value for money and strong performance versus competitors. The overview also highlights its polished cabin, available executive-style features, and standout tech such as ambient lighting and dual 12.3-inch displays, which make it especially appealing if you want a flagship sedan for long-distance comfort or high-end daily driving.

With 31.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively rather than rush.

Is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a highly engineered luxury sedan, but it also comes with the kind of complexity that can make ownership expensive. Drivers describe it as luxurious and note its superior performance, while also pointing to maintenance costs and electronic components that can be challenging over time.

That means you should expect a used example to reward careful upkeep, but long-term ownership risk is still meaningful if prior maintenance has been inconsistent or if electrical issues have already started to surface.

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

At 57.4% 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 accident damage was repaired properly. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on electronics, comfort features, and any signs of costly deferred maintenance, since this model can be expensive to keep in top shape. Pay close attention to overall condition and service records, because a well-maintained example matters more here than a bargain price alone.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 957 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.87% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 57.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $28,899, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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

The current average of $29,352 sits slightly below last year's $32,930.

That decline suggests the market has softened, which can help you buy more affordably now but may also limit how much value you recover later. If you plan to sell in the future, a well-kept example with strong service history should hold up better than one with visible wear or unresolved maintenance needs. For future resale, condition and documentation will matter a lot more than simply owning the badge.

Should I buy a 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-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:

• 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 57.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.87% compared with last year.

The bottom line: The 2016 is a strong choice if you want the S-Class experience at a lower entry price than newer examples, especially if you can find one with clean history and solid maintenance records. If you are more price-sensitive, you may want to compare nearby years and focus on the best-maintained car rather than the newest badge, since condition and service history are likely to matter more than the model year alone.
