How much does the 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class cost?

Prices have softened 8.02% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 311 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

If you find a listing below $80,823.25, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class a good car?

Generally — the 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class earns a 4/5 user rating, which points to strong owner approval for this model year.

The overview frames it as a vehicle that blends military-rooted toughness with unmistakable luxury and presence, so you are shopping for character as much as utility. It also highlights serious off-road ability, capable powertrain options, and a package that feels special every time you see it, while noting that it is not a practical bargain because fuel economy is poor and upkeep is costly.

With 29.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively if you want the right combination of condition and price.

Is the 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class reliable?

Owners rate it 4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The overview says these trucks were generally very reliable, even though maintenance and repair costs were high because of the expensive equipment they carried. That means the main ownership risk for used buyers is less about basic durability and more about how much you may need to spend to keep one in top shape over time.

What should I look for when buying a used 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class?

At 71.1% 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 trucks with prior damage or repeated claims. After that, prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially on condition, maintenance records, and signs of expensive wear. Because this model is costly to maintain, you want the cleanest, best-documented example you can find rather than simply the lowest sticker price.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right listing.

• Deal availability: 29.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 311 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.02% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 71.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $80,823.25, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class's resale value?

The current average of $83,626 sits slightly below last year's $90,913.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to give you a better entry point than a year ago, which can help if you are buying with an eye toward future resale. For a future seller, the softer current pricing may also mean there is less immediate upside, but the model's strong identity and desirability can still support demand when your truck is well kept and properly documented.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2017 if:

• 29.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 71.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.02% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: If you want the classic G-Class formula with strong owner approval and a softer price than last year, the 2017 is the primary year to target. If you are especially price-sensitive, keep comparing listings carefully and focus on condition, history, and maintenance records, because the best value will come from the cleanest example rather than the cheapest one.
