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

Prices have softened 4.26% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 306 listings available, which gives you a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

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

Generally — the 4/5 user rating suggests you’re looking at a model year that satisfies many shoppers. The overview points to a vehicle that blends old-school, military-derived toughness with unmistakable luxury presence, while also emphasizing that it was expensive when new and remains a distinctive, high-end SUV. If you want a vehicle with strong character, serious capability, and a premium image, this model year fits that use case well. 34.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class reliable?

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

The overview says G-Wagens are generally very reliable, but expensive to maintain and repair, so the ownership experience is less about frequent breakdowns and more about the cost of keeping one in top shape. That means you should expect a used example to reward careful maintenance history and disciplined upkeep.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is not just reliability itself, but the expense of addressing wear, repairs, and deferred maintenance on a complex luxury SUV.

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

At 69% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection from a shop that knows luxury SUVs and off-road hardware. Focus on overall condition, evidence of maintenance, and signs that the truck has been used hard or repaired poorly, since those issues can matter more than mileage alone.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 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: 34.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 306 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.26% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 69.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $80,775, 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 $83,187 sits slightly below last year's $86,885.

That kind of price movement suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now if you plan to own the vehicle for a while. For a future seller, it also means resale value will depend heavily on condition, maintenance records, and how well the truck has been preserved. Because this is a distinctive luxury SUV with strong buyer appeal, clean examples should still attract attention when it’s time to sell.

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:

• 34.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 69% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.26% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.

The bottom line:

If you want the classic G-Class look, strong character, and a market that currently gives you some negotiating room, the 2017 is a sensible target. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you may want to compare it with nearby years and focus on the cleanest, best-documented example rather than chasing the lowest sticker price.
