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

Prices have softened 6.11% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 702 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

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

Yes — the 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class earns a 4.9/5 user rating, which points to very strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its elegant design, driving experience, performance, safety, and comfort, and many describe it as luxurious and dependable. That makes it especially appealing if you want a high-end flagship with a polished cabin and a strong reputation for refinement. With 33.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?

Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback also highlights it as a dependable choice, with language that points to a trouble-free and long-term ownership experience for many drivers. That said, this is still a complex luxury car, so your used-buying risk is less about basic durability and more about whether the specific example has been maintained properly. For you, the key is to focus on service history and condition so you can reduce the chance of expensive surprises later.

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

At 59.5% 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 confirm accident records, title status, and ownership patterns before you get too far into the process. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on a car with advanced electronics and luxury features that can be costly to sort out after the sale. Focus your attention on overall condition, signs of prior bodywork, and whether the car has been maintained consistently.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile options.

• Deal availability: 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 702 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.11% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 59.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $38,243, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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

The current average of $38,243 sits slightly below last year's $40,730.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy with less risk of immediate overpaying. For a future seller, it also means resale value will depend heavily on how well the car is presented and maintained. Clean history, strong condition, and documented care matter more when the broader market has softened.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-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:

• 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 59.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.11% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: If you want this generation’s flagship comfort, strong owner satisfaction, and a market that has eased from last year, the 2017 is a sensible primary target. If you are especially price-sensitive, you can also use the softer pricing to compare carefully against nearby years and choose the cleanest, best-documented example rather than chasing the cheapest badge alone.
