The 2021 C-Class sits at a median of $34,888 in the Canadian market right now. Most listings land between $31,622 and $43,362, which is a wide spread for one model year. That gap tells you the badge on the trunk matters a lot here, so figuring out which trim you're looking at is step one before you decide what's fair.
Mileage on the typical car runs around 68,716 km. Every extra 10,000 km knocks about $1,949 off the asking price, so the odometer is doing real work on value. A car with 100,000 km should sell for roughly $6,000 under one showing 30,000, all else equal. When you spot two listings at the same price and one has 40,000 fewer kilometres, the cheaper-per-km one is the stronger buy.
How the trims split
The C 300 is the volume trim and the value play. Its median is $31,744, with most examples between $29,218 and $33,094. That's a tight band, which means pricing is predictable and you can walk into a negotiation knowing what the number should be. Anything much above $33,000 for a C 300 needs low mileage or loaded options to justify itself.
The C 43 AMG plays in a different league at $52,900 median, typically $47,988 to $54,776. You're paying roughly $21,000 over a C 300 for the AMG. That's the performance premium, plain and simple, and the ceiling of $54,776 caps what the market will bear even on a clean one.
We've flagged 12 solid deals on this year over the last 90 days. Use the median as your anchor, adjust for the trim, then dock the price for kilometres over 68,716. A C 300 near $29,000 with average mileage is a car worth chasing.
