Market Insights

2007
Price Trend
Prices generally increase with newer model years and lower mileage. Older models (2007-2009) are available at much lower price points but often come with higher mileage. Mid-generation models (2011-2014) offer a balance if priced correctly. The newest models (2016-2020) are significantly more expensive.

Moderate
Buyer Advice
Focus on models from 2007-2013 for the best balance of price and features. Prioritize vehicles with lower mileage if budget allows, but don't shy away from higher mileage examples if the price is significantly lower and the vehicle history is clean. Leverage the days on market; listings that have been active for a few days might offer more negotiation room. Always get a pre-purchase inspection from an independent mechanic specializing in Mercedes-Benz.
