The median 2022 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class sits at $154,944 in the Canadian market. Most examples land between $149,989 and $160,719, so you're looking at a spread of roughly $11k between a strong deal and a top-of-the-range ask. Anything under $150k is at the bottom edge of what these cars trade for right now.
That range is fairly tight for a car at this price. When the top and bottom of the typical band sit within about 7% of each other, it tells you the market has a firm opinion on what a 2022 SL is worth. You have some room to negotiate, but not a lot. Know where a specific car falls in that band before you make an offer.
What mileage does to the price
The median car here has 15,670 km on it, which is barely broken in. Every extra 10,000 km knocks about $2,990 off the price. So a car with 40,000 km, roughly 24,000 above the median, would fetch around $7,200 less on that math alone, before you factor in condition or spec.
Run that in reverse when a low-km car is priced at the top of the range. If it's carrying 8,000 km and asking $160,000, the mileage premium is real but modest, worth maybe a $2,000 bump over the median car. Pay for the km you're actually getting.
One more signal worth watching: we've flagged 7 deals on this model year in the last 90 days. That's a handful of cars that came in priced below where the market says they should. At this price point, patience pays. Wait for one of those to surface rather than paying the median for an average car.
