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 $12,460 to $16,579 (estimated), from 19 similar cars in Ontario this month (2 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, 12 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 Ontario have been selling between $12,460 and $16,579 at this mileage, typically around $14,519. Would you take $14,519? I can come in this week.
976 used C-Classs (2009 and newer) in Ontario right now. Here are the 20 most recently listed, each checked against the fair range for its own year and mileage. 5 look like good deals.

Before you negotiate
- Anything under $12,460 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- Stepping back one year to a 2010 saves about $1,545 for the same generation. Worth a look if mileage is similar.
- 2 of the 19 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (estimated, 12 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.
