The 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class sits at a median of $103,990 in the Canadian market right now. Most cars land between $94,995 and $108,800. That's a fairly tight band for a car at this price, so if you're looking at something well above $108,800, you want a clear reason for the premium in the mileage or trim.
Median odometer reading on these is about 50,849 km. So a car right at the median price is also a car that's seen a couple of years of normal use. Nothing about that number should scare you off, but it does anchor what "average" looks like when you're comparing two listings.
What mileage does to the price
Every extra 10,000 km knocks roughly $2,714 off the asking price. Run that out and it adds up fast. A car with 80,000 km instead of 50,000 should cost you around $8,000 less, all else equal. Use that as your yardstick when a lower-priced listing turns out to have a lot more distance on it.
The trim split is where the real money decision lives. The S 580 carries a median of $103,990 and typically runs $99,425 to $105,398. The S 500 sits noticeably lower at $92,996, with a tight range of $89,995 to $94,888. That's about an $11,000 gap between the two. If the extra power and equipment of the 580 aren't must-haves for you, the S 500 is the cleaner value here.
We've flagged 5 deals on this model year in the last 90 days. Not a flood, but enough that a priced-right car does surface. A 580 near the bottom of its range, or an S 500 under $90,000 with reasonable kilometres, is the kind of listing worth moving on.
