CarGurus Analysis: 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Summary
With 139 currently listed for sale near San Jose, CA and an average price of $30,069, 20.9% of 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class models for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 4.79 / 5 stars.
59.7% of 2018 S-Class models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class stands out because it sits in the W222 generation, which brought a new aluminum hybrid body shell that cut weight and improved rigidity. It also featured selectable ambient lighting, a surround-view camera system that integrated multi-modal radar and ultrasonic sensors, and a digital interface spread across two giant 12.3-inch screens under a single panel. Mercedes also kept many physical controls in this system, and night vision remained. For buyers, that combination of advanced technology, rich materials, and a deeply polished cabin is a big part of the car’s appeal.
For 2018, the lineup included the S 560 with a 4.0-liter V8 making 463 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, plus the S 450 with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 making 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. The two-door models got the updated 560 powertrain, but not the V6, and the S 550e and S 600 were dropped. That leaves the 2018 S-Class feeling both powerful and highly equipped, while still offering the kind of breadth that made this generation so desirable.
It is not a cheap car to own, though. The source notes that the S-Class is expensive to buy new and costly to fuel, maintain, and insure over time, and the W222 remains expensive to maintain even with its very good reliability record. Some owner forums focus on suspension and electrical issues, so the car’s sophistication comes with the usual luxury-car upkeep concerns.

Every detail, from the exquisite materials to the precision engineering, reflects the meticulous attention to detail that went into its creation. Once on the road, the S560 offers an unrivaled driving experience. The ride is incredibly smooth, gliding effortlessly over bumps and imperfections, thanks to its advanced suspension system.

Is the 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class a good car?
Yes — the 4.79/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. Drivers consistently praise the luxurious interior, advanced technology, and smooth performance, and they also highlight the high-quality craftsmanship and spacious cabin. For you, that means this model makes the most sense if you want a flagship luxury sedan with a deeply polished feel and a strong comfort-first appeal. With 33.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still room to shop selectively.
Is the 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?
Owners rate it 4.79/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The user feedback emphasizes a refined, dependable ownership experience, with drivers repeatedly calling out the smooth performance and high-quality craftsmanship. That kind of praise suggests the car can be a reassuring choice if you want a luxury sedan you can count on over time. Even so, you should expect long-term ownership risk to be shaped by luxury-car upkeep, so a careful pre-purchase inspection matters.
What should I look for when buying a used 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
At 62% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a full vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from cars with prior damage or repeated claims. After that, prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension, electronics, and overall condition, since those are the areas that matter most when you are buying a sophisticated luxury sedan. It also helps to focus on maintenance records, because a well-kept example is more likely to deliver the ownership experience you want.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile opportunities.
- Deal availability: 33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 716 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.89% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 62.0% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $33,448, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class's resale value?
The current average of $34,027 sits slightly below last year's $37,349.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy more confidently now but may also mean future resale gains are limited if depreciation continues. If you plan to sell later, condition and maintenance history will matter a lot, because well-kept luxury sedans tend to hold buyer interest better than neglected ones. Strong pricing discipline today can also help you avoid overpaying for a car that may continue to soften.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.79/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2018 if:
- 33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 62% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.89% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.79/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: If you want the best balance of value and owner satisfaction, the 2018 is a strong place to start because pricing has eased and the user feedback is excellent. If you are especially price-sensitive, you may want to compare nearby years and focus on the cleanest, best-documented example rather than chasing the newest badge alone.
