How did the dealer quote it?
2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, used · 3rd generation
A fair price at 60,000 km is $12,868 to $17,219 (estimated), from 8 similar cars in British Columbia this month (0 already sold).
Right in line with the market. You might get a few hundred off, but there is no big overcharge here.
Only 0 2012 C-Classs listed near 60,000 km, so this is estimated from the nearest listed mileage (100 to 150k km, 6 cars) using how 3rd generation C-Class prices fall with mileage.
Hi, I am interested in the 2012 C-Class listed at $15,995. Comparable ones in British Columbia have been selling between $12,868 and $17,219 at this mileage, typically around $15,044. Would you take $15,044? I can come in this week.
585 used C-Classs (2010 and newer) in British Columbia right now. Here are the 20 most recently listed, each checked against the fair range for its own year and mileage.

Before you negotiate
- Anything under $12,868 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- Stepping back one year to a 2011 saves about $2,692 for the same generation. Worth a look if mileage is similar.
- 0 of the 8 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (estimated, 6 cars at the nearest mileage). Prices are per vehicle; the same car listed at several rooftops is counted once. Sold cars are kept in because a car that sold at a price is evidence about that price.
