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

Prices have softened 4.47% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 694 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing options.

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

Yes — the 4.9/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its elegant design, driving experience, performance, safety, and comfort, and they also describe it as luxurious and dependable. That fits a flagship luxury sedan that’s aimed at buyers who want advanced technology, refined engineering, and a polished cabin experience for everyday use or long-distance comfort. With 33.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have 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 praise centered on smooth handling and a trouble-free feel in daily use. That kind of response matters in a used luxury sedan, where long-term ownership risk often comes down to how well the car has been maintained and whether previous care matches the vehicle’s premium positioning.

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

At 58.4% 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 negotiations. After that, prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on body condition, electronics, suspension behavior, and signs of uneven wear, since this is a complex luxury sedan. It also helps to compare service records carefully, because condition and maintenance history matter a lot on a car like this.

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 opportunities.

• Deal availability: 33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 694 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.47% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 58.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $37,939, 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 $38,311 sits slightly below last year's $40,104.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more selectively now but may also limit upside if you plan to sell soon. For a future seller, the key takeaway is that value retention will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and documentation, especially in a premium segment where buyers expect strong presentation and maintenance history. A well-kept example should still attract interest, but the softer market means you should be realistic about future resale timing.

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:

• 33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 58.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.47% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2017 if you want a well-developed version of this luxury sedan with strong owner approval and a market that still offers some deal potential. If your priority is stretching your budget further, a nearby year may be worth considering, but the 2017 remains the better fit when you want a balance of satisfaction, availability, and softened pricing.
