Typical price by year — tap a year to pick it
Same generation, different year: a 2010 typically runs $1,021 less; a 2012 about $2,399 more.
Colour = generation (same body and platform). Black tags mark facelift, new-tech and first or last years.
How did the dealer quote it?
2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, used · 3rd generation
A fair price at 60,000 km is $12,576 to $16,548 (estimated), from 31 similar cars in Canada this month (5 already sold).
Right in line with the market. You might get a few hundred off, but there is no big overcharge here.
Only 1 2011 C-Class listed near 60,000 km, so this is estimated from the nearest listed mileage (100 to 150k km, 18 cars) using how 3rd generation C-Class prices fall with mileage.
Hi, I am interested in the 2011 C-Class listed at $15,995. Comparable ones in Canada have been selling between $12,576 and $16,548 at this mileage, typically around $14,562. Would you take $14,562? I can come in this week.
2,040 used C-Classs (2009 and newer) in Canada right now. Here are the 20 most recently listed, each checked against the fair range for its own year and mileage. 1 looks like a good deal.

Before you negotiate
- Anything under $12,576 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- 5 of the 31 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (estimated, 18 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.
