A 2008 E-Class sits at a median of $10,500 in the Canadian market right now. That's your anchor. If a seller is asking well above it, you want a reason on paper, not a sales pitch.
Most of these land between $8,800 and $12,695. Anything under the low end usually carries a story you'll find in the history report, and anything over the high end is priced for condition or low kilometres you'd need to verify before you pay for it.
What the mileage tells you
The typical 2008 E-Class on the market has 168,000 km on it. That's the normal state of this year, so don't treat average kilometres as a flaw to negotiate hard against. A car sitting near that number at the median price is priced about where it should be.
We've flagged 2 deals on this year in the last 90 days, so genuine value at or below the $8,800 mark shows up, but it doesn't sit around. If you spot one inside the typical range with clean records, that's a car worth moving on rather than sleeping on.
