How much does the 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class cost?

Prices have softened 3.01% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 967 listings available, which gives you a meaningful amount of inventory to compare before you commit.

If you find a listing below $114,210.26, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class a good car?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class stands out as a flagship luxury sedan that showcases Mercedes-Benz’s technology and craftsmanship. It offers the brand’s second-generation MBUX infotainment interface, up to five screens on board, and a new 3D driver display system that uses eye tracking to create the illusion of depth.

It also continues the S-Class tradition of introducing advanced engineering features, including rear-axle steering with up to ten degrees of motion and a rear airbag system that places airbags in front of the rear passengers for the first time. For you, that means this model year is aimed at buyers who want a large luxury sedan with a strong emphasis on innovation, comfort, and high-end execution.

30.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there is some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class stands out as a flagship luxury sedan that blends opulent comfort, serious performance, and some of Mercedes-Benz’s most advanced technology in one very large luxury sedan. It also brings electrified capability into the mix, including the S 580e’s 46 miles of battery-only range and DC fast-charging ability.

That kind of sophistication can be appealing if you want a highly advanced luxury car, but it also means you should expect a more complex ownership experience than you would with a simpler sedan. For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is tied to the cost and complexity of maintaining a feature-rich flagship.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report on any car you’re seriously considering, even when the market looks clean. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially because this model’s technology and luxury features are a major part of what you’re paying for.

Focus your condition check on the electronics, interior wear, and any signs that advanced systems or option-package features may not be working as intended.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay patient and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 30.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 967 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.01% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 92.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $114,210.26, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class's resale value?

The current average of $122,421 sits slightly below last year's $126,214.

That price movement suggests the market has softened a bit, which can help you buy more confidently today. If you plan to sell later, the current trend implies you should expect value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the car has been maintained.

For you, the key takeaway is that a well-kept example should still hold appeal because the S-Class remains a flagship luxury sedan with strong name recognition. But the softer market means you should be realistic about future resale and avoid overpaying now.

Should I buy a 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 30.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.01% compared with last year.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $78,218, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $122,421 average.
• It adds a plug-in hybrid option with strong electric-range appeal.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $127,358, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $122,421 average.
• It adds small updates like digital key functionality and a center airbag.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of current-market pricing and inventory quality, the 2024 is the primary path to consider. If your priority is saving money, the 2023 is the better value play, while the 2025 makes sense if you want the newer updates and are comfortable paying more.
