Colour = generation (same body and platform). Black tags mark facelift, new-tech and first or last years.
How did the dealer quote it?
2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, used · 4th generation
A fair price at 60,000 km is $21,312 to $30,016, from 19 similar cars in Ontario this month (3 already sold).
Right in line with the market. You might get a few hundred off, but there is no big overcharge here.
Hi, I am interested in the 2012 E-Class listed at $26,995. Comparable ones in Ontario have been selling between $21,312 and $30,016 at this mileage, typically around $25,664. Would you take $25,664? I can come in this week.
426 used E-Classs (2010 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. 2 look like good deals.
Tags use the fair range for the region selected above. Hybrids and plug-ins tend to sit above the all-powertrain range until the powertrain filter is live. Prices as listed by the dealer; no photos, no dealer-paid placement.

Before you negotiate
- Anything under $21,312 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- Stepping back one year to a 2011 saves about $1,930 for the same generation. Worth a look if mileage is similar.
- 3 of the 19 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (2 comparable cars at this 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.
