Overview
The Mercedes S-Class is a sedan known for this above all: still the world's best sedan; used prices halve fast. It cross-shops against the BMW 7 Series, and like every vehicle it has a personality — strengths worth paying for and quirks worth checking before you sign anything.
What it costs
Trims to know
S 500, S 580, Maybach. Mid trims usually carry the best used value — top trims depreciate hardest (good used buys), base trims resell easiest.
