The 2016 S-Class sits at a median of $44,985 in the Canadian market, with most cars landing between $33,999 and $59,999. That's a wide band for one model year, and the reason becomes obvious once you look at what's inside it. The gap between a base car and a top trim here is bigger than the price of a lot of used sedans on their own.
Half these cars have crossed 113,000 km, so that's your reference point. A listing well under that mileage carries a real premium, and one well over it should cost less. Mileage moves the price hard on this one: roughly $2,969 comes off for every extra 10,000 km on the odometer. Put a 60,000 km car next to a 160,000 km car and you're looking at close to $30,000 in mileage alone.
How the trims split the range
The two trims pull in opposite directions and basically explain the whole spread. The S 63 AMG runs a median of $59,900, typically $56,800 to $65,800. The S 550 sits far lower at $27,888, with most between $27,665 and $33,888. Nothing overlaps. If your budget is closer to the median, the S 550 is the trim that actually lives there, and it's the value play at the bottom of the range.
The AMG money buys the performance version, and the market prices it like a separate car. There's no such thing as a cheap S 63 here, so if that's the badge you want, plan around $57K and up rather than hoping to catch one near the model-year median.
We've flagged 6 deals on the 2016 S-Class in the last 90 days. Whatever trim you're chasing, anchor to the right number first: median around $28K for an S 550, high $50s for an S 63, then adjust up or down by that $2,969-per-10,000 km figure against the car's actual odometer reading.
