The 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sits at a median of $25,190 in the Canadian market right now. Most cars land between $22,910 and $29,524. If a listing falls under $22,900, that's worth a hard look. Above $29,500 and you're paying a premium that the numbers don't back up.
The median car has 116,618 km on it. That's the baseline to measure any listing against. A car with well under that has real room to sit near the top of the range, and one pushing higher should be priced down accordingly.
What mileage does to the price
Every 10,000 km knocks about $1,453 off. So a car with 90,000 km, roughly 27,000 below the median, should command something like $3,900 more than a typical 116,000 km example, all else equal. Flip that math when you're staring at a high-mileage car and the seller wants median money. The odometer is doing more work here than most buyers realize.
Two trims show up. The E 300 runs a median of $25,998 with a tight typical range of $23,995 to $27,000, so pricing on it is fairly predictable. The E 400 comes in lower at $24,880 but the range is wide, from $22,888 all the way to $32,495. That spread means condition and mileage swing E 400 pricing hard, so it's the trim where a patient buyer can actually find a deal or badly overpay.
