How did the dealer quote it?
2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class, used
A fair price at 60,000 km is $19,316 to $23,363, from 10 similar cars in British Columbia this month (1 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 M-Class listed at $22,995. Comparable ones in British Columbia have been selling between $19,316 and $23,363 at this mileage, typically around $21,339. Would you take $21,339? I can come in this week.
79 used M-Classs (2005 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. 4 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 $19,316 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- Stepping back one year to a 2011 saves about $5,251 for the same generation. Worth a look if mileage is similar.
- 1 of the 10 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.
