How much does the Mercedes-Benz S-Class cost in today's market?
Used Mercedes-Benz S-Class prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Round Range |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | $126,822 | $126,982 – $142,926 |
| 2024 | $122,842 | $114,215 – $127,467 |
| 2023 | $78,262 | $78,038 – $89,984 |
| 2022 | $63,231 | $63,227 – $71,396 |
| 2021 | $60,248 | $60,294 – $66,836 |
| 2020 | $47,771 | $46,780 – $54,845 |
| 2019 | $43,003 | $40,869 – $45,587 |
| 2018 | $33,503 | $33,447 – $37,507 |
| 2017 | $38,327 | $38,359 – $40,739 |
| 2016 | $30,054 | $28,906 – $32,957 |
| 2015 | $25,022 | $25,053 – $27,164 |
| 2014 | $21,873 | $21,172 – $23,173 |
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class's current nationwide average price is $51,186, and its year-round low is $48,145.16. That puts the model's current pricing well below its peak year-round level while still reflecting its flagship-luxury positioning. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.
Is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class a good car?
Yes — the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a strong choice if you want a flagship luxury sedan with broad appeal across model years. The all-generations owner rating is 4.7/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners consistently praise the S-Class for its luxurious feel, comfortable and spacious interiors, smooth ride, and powerful engines. They also repeatedly highlight the car’s advanced technology, craftsmanship, and overall sense of refinement.
Expert reviews rate the 2022 and 2023 models among the highest across all years.
The main tradeoffs that come up most often are high maintenance costs, technology controls that can be frustrating to use, and a steep price tag. Even so, the S-Class remains a compelling used buy if you want comfort, performance, and a true luxury-car experience.
25.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are Mercedes-Benz S-Class models reliable?
Owners consistently describe the S-Class as a luxurious, comfortable, and highly satisfying car to live with, and expert coverage reinforces its strong performance and craftsmanship. Across the lineup, the model’s reputation is built on refinement, advanced technology, and a smooth driving experience.
- Owners rate the Mercedes-Benz S-Class between 3.92 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.
For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is tied more to complexity and upkeep than to the basic appeal of the car, so a well-documented service history matters a lot.
What should I look for when buying a used Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
Across all model years, at 72.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
| Model Year | Accident-Free % |
|---|---|
| 2027 | 98.8% |
| 2026 | 98.2% |
| 2025 | 95.8% |
| 2024 | 92.4% |
| 2023 | 89.1% |
| 2022 | 86.5% |
| 2021 | 80.7% |
| 2020 | 73.5% |
| 2019 | 66.5% |
| 2018 | 64.1% |
| 2017 | 59% |
| 2016 | 59.5% |
| 2015 | 58.1% |
| 2014 | 58.3% |
Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2021 models.
Key things to evaluate:
- Safety package: forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, automated lane-change assist, evasive steering assistance, automatic reverse braking, a semi-automated parking system, and a surround-view camera system
- Infotainment: a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, a 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen, a native navigation system with augmented reality video overlays, voice recognition, and a Burmester surround-sound system
- Fuel efficiency: 48 miles of electric range and 23 mpg in combined driving once the battery is depleted
Which Mercedes-Benz S-Class trim should I buy?
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class offers these trims:
- S 500: the entry point with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, 442 horsepower, and 413 pound-feet of torque; a strong value if you want the most accessible way into the lineup
- S 580: adds a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with 496 hp and 516 lb-ft, plus the same nine-speed automatic and standard 4Matic all-wheel drive
- S 580e: the plug-in hybrid choice with 503 hp, 553 lb-ft, and an estimated 48 miles of electric range; a smart pick if you want efficiency and strong performance together
- AMG S 63 E Performance: the performance flagship with 791 hp, 1,055 lb-ft, and an estimated 16 miles of electric-only propulsion
What Mercedes-Benz S-Class do most buyers choose?
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class years with the most listings are 2023, 2022, and 2016.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 1,186 | 26.3% |
| 2022 | 1,103 | 25.7% |
| 2016 | 1,003 | 26.6% |
| 2024 | 935 | 26.8% |
| 2015 | 903 | 26.4% |
| 2018 | 740 | 29.7% |
These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right combination of price, equipment, and condition. They also often sit in the sweet spot where newer features and broader availability overlap.
What is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | $47,771 | −12.83% |
| 2023 | $78,262 | −12.81% |

| 2024 | $122,842 | −3.64% |
| 2019 | $43,003 | −3.49% |
Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want to benefit from softer pricing. The biggest drops are concentrated in several recent and mid-cycle years, while a few years are declining more slowly. That pattern suggests there are still opportunities to find value across the lineup, especially if you’re flexible on model year and equipment.
The 2019, 2024, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Reviewed a 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class on Dec 27, 2025
This model is particularly a great S-Class version. It is so much better than the successor model S. The features are pretty much the same but having the tactile models and not a giant Ipad in the middle made the car so much more user friendly. I hope the next version reverts back to tactile buttons and not all of these haptics that just do not work. It is a card with an excellent ride and the sound system is top notch. I have never really had a smooth quieter ride than the S Class Mercedes.

CarGurus recommends the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Summary
With 1,152 currently listed for sale and an average price of $78,224.00, 31.0% of 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class models for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 4.7 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it an 8.5 / 10.
89.6% of 2023 S-Class models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class stands out as a luxury full-size sedan that pairs the brand’s familiar emphasis on design and refinement with a new powertrain for 2023. It is described as being a few years into its latest generation, and Mercedes introduced a plug-in hybrid setup for this model year. That combination gives the car a distinctive role for buyers who want a high-end sedan with the ability to travel far on electrons without fully committing to a battery-electric vehicle.
Its appeal is rooted in the usual S-Class strengths, including impressive technology, premium interior materials, and strong performance. The plug-in hybrid setup also brings impressive electric range, which makes it especially attractive as a convenient stop-gap for shoppers not ready to leave the gas station behind entirely. The tradeoff is that it is very expensive, and it does not qualify for a federal tax rebate, so its advanced efficiency and luxury come with a steep price.
