On the hunt for the popular Mercedes S500 used?

Are you thinking of buying a pre-owned luxury car? The Mercedes S500 is a solid choice. AutoUncle has 45 used Mercedes S500s for sale in the UK, each one gathered from an online marketplace or dealership website.

What is the used car price of the Mercedes S500?

Currently, the prices for a pre-owned Mercedes S500 start at £2,495 and go up to £64,875.

The German car is being offered at different prices based on mainly five factors: the year of manufacture, engine size and power, the car's fuel efficiency, vehicle mileage together with trim level.

For example, a younger car with fewer miles on the odometer typically costs more. Likewise, models at the premium end with luxurious features or potent engines tend to come with a more substantial price tag than a car from an older model year, with higher mileage and no optional extras.

Which trim levels can I choose for the Mercedes S500?

In order to find the best sale price, it is essential that you only compare with the sale prices of cars with the same equipment variant and engine size. If not, you may come to a wrong conclusion on which car to purchase.

Is the Mercedes S500 available in different fuel variants?

For the Mercedes S500, petrol is the most favored fuel.

Mercedes S500 fuel types compared:

  • Mercedes S500 petrol: 43 cars currently available with an average price of £21,163
  • Mercedes S500 plug-in hybrid: 1 car currently available with an average price of £54,995
  • Mercedes S500 LPG: 1 car currently available on AutoUncle with an average price of £4,695

When thinking about which fuel type to buy, it's important to consider your driving habits. Do you usually drive in city traffic or on highways and freeways? How many miles do you cover on a weekly basis?

Electric, plug-in hybrid and petrol work well for short trips. If you drive long distances on a daily basis, an electric car is good - especially if you can charge at home or at work. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. Diesel cars may still be relevant in some cases with very long journeys and lack of charging options. Note that in some countries, diesel engines with high emissions are no longer allowed to enter some cities.

Is the Mercedes S500 available in multiple body variants?

The Mercedes S500 only comes in the sedan body type in the UK. Saloons or sedans most often have four doors, and this body type is, therefore, popular with families. This body style often provides a balanced combination of performance, fuel efficiency, and safety.

Is the Mercedes S500 the best choice - or are there better alternatives?

Within its class, the Mercedes S500 holds a fair level of popularity but still there are other competing cars to consider.
