Are you thinking of getting a used multi-purpose car? Then the Mercedes R500 is an excellent choice. AutoUncle has 3 used Mercedes R500s for sale in the UK sourced from numerous dealership websites and online marketplaces.

What is the price of a used Mercedes R500?

The price of a used Mercedes R500 ranges from £4,994 for the cheapest model to £12,995 for the latest and most well-equipped model.

The German car costs very different depending on mainly five factors: the year of the car, engine size and performance, the car's fuel consumption, number of miles and the trim level of the car.

For instance, a more recent model with lower mileage, or a luxury edition with a robust engine, usually garners a premium price than an earlier version with less equipment and higher mileage.

Which trim levels can I choose for the Mercedes R500?

The Mercedes R500 is only available in one trim level, the Mercedes R500 Sport.

When reviewing the price points of used Mercedes R500 cars, it is crucial that you only compare with the offers of cars with a similar engine and trim level. Otherwise, you may end up reaching a wrong conclusion on which car to acquire.

What are the available fuel options for the Mercedes R500?

Petrol is the only fuel type offered for the Mercedes R500. We currently have three cars available at an average price of £10,295.

Assessing your driving habits is crucial before you decide on the different fuel types available. What's your typical weekly driving mileage? Are your trips usually short or do they cover longer distances?

For short trips, range is rarely a limitation, so electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol can be fine. For longer daily journeys, consider an electric car, especially if you have the option to charge at home or at work. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. Diesel cars may still be relevant in some cases with very long journeys and lack of charging options. Bear in mind that diesel engines emitting high levels of pollution are not allowed in cities in a number of countries.

Does the Mercedes R500 have multiple body styles?

The Mercedes R500 only exists in the MPV body type in the UK. MPV, an acronym for Multi-Purpose Vehicle, can be likened to a contemporary family bus. As one of the most spacious models available, it's ideal for those seeking extensive seating combined with abundant luggage room.

What other cars should I consider?

The Mercedes R500 faces stiff competition within its segment.
