The S500 badge has run across S-Class generations with a different engine each time: a twin-turbo V8 on the W222, a turbocharged inline-six with EQ Boost on the current W223. It gives you flagship presence a step below the S560 or S580 badges, and our UAE stock spans from AED 116500 for an earlier car up to AED 116500 for a recent one — around 28% below the price of the equivalent new car.
How much does a used Mercedes S500 cost in the UAE?
AED 116500 for a 2018, earlier car up to AED 116500 for a 2024, more recent one, with generation the biggest single factor in where a car sits on that range.
Which used Mercedes S500 year should you buy?
A W222 facelift car, from around 2018, gets an updated cabin and driver assistance on the same twin-turbo V8, and remains a considerably cheaper way into that engine than a current-generation car of similar spec.
Is a used Mercedes S500 reliable?
Better than the class on the fault we check most. None of the S500s we inspect show a mechanical fault in the engine, gearbox, suspension or steering, against the 17% we would expect for flagship V8 saloons of this age and mileage here — a strong signal for a car built to be driven hard for long distances.
S500 or BMW 530?
The BMW 530 is far cheaper, smaller, and shows prior body or panel repair on 52% of cars against the 64% we would expect for saloons of this age and mileage here. The Mercedes C300 is also far cheaper and retains 50% after five years, for a buyer who wants the badge without the flagship size.
