How much does the 2024 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 945 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

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

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class stands out as a showcase for the brand’s newest technology and luxury engineering. It offers the second generation of MBUX, up to five screens, a 3D driver display, rear-axle steering, and a new rear airbag system, so you’re looking at a flagship sedan built around innovation and refinement.

It is best suited to you if you value advanced tech, comfort, and prestige enough to accept a very high purchase price. 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is positioned as a highly advanced luxury sedan with a strong emphasis on refinement, technology, and premium engineering. Its appeal comes from the breadth of features and the way it blends performance with electrification and comfort.

For a used buyer, the main long-term ownership risk is that a complex, high-end flagship can be expensive to maintain if you want everything working as intended.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially because this car’s technology and luxury systems are extensive. Focus on the condition of the infotainment, driver-assist features, suspension, and any optional equipment that may be costly to repair.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile opportunities.

• Deal availability: 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 945 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.47% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 92.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $114,189, 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 $118,628 sits slightly below last year's $124,176.

That price movement suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy with less pressure today. If you plan to sell later, the current softness means your future resale value will depend heavily on mileage, condition, and equipment. Well-kept examples with desirable options should hold up better than average, but you should still expect a premium sedan market that rewards careful ownership.

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:

• 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.47% compared with last year.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $78,407, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $118,628 average.
• It adds a newer powertrain with modern plug-in hybrid appeal.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $123,959, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $118,628 average.
• It adds standard digital key functionality and a center airbag.

The bottom line: If you want the most current balance of price, inventory, and flagship tech, the 2024 is the primary choice. If your budget matters more than having the newest model year, the 2023 is the better value path, while the 2025 makes sense if you want the latest updates and are comfortable paying more.
