What do over a hundred Mercedes-Benz listings in the USA—from a 2005 CLK-Class to 2025 AMG and electric models—tell us about price levels, mileage, body types, and the premium attached to AMG and 4MATIC? This post uses the Mercedes-Benz Price Dataset 2005–2025 USA by ibrahimshahrukh on Kaggle to answer that question. We explore the distribution of prices and mileage, how listing volume and median price vary by model year, which body types and model series dominate, the AMG and 4MATIC price premiums, price bands and price-per-mile by segment, and a brief look at electric (EQE/EQS) versus non-electric listings. The result is a descriptive, data-backed snapshot of the Mercedes-Benz listing landscape in the USA over two decades.
Data overview
The dataset contains 108 listings with model years from 2005 to 2025. Each row includes vehicle name, year, vehicle age, model series, trim level, body type, flags for AMG and 4MATIC, mileage (miles), mileage category, price (USD), price category, and a derived price-per-mile (price divided by mileage). Numeric columns were coerced for analysis; rows with missing or invalid price were dropped, leaving 108 records.
- Price: minimum $6,420, maximum $169,995, mean about $40,310, median $33,499. The distribution is right-skewed: many listings sit in the mid-range and premium bands, with a long tail of luxury and a few budget entries.
- Mileage: minimum 628 miles, maximum 186,500 miles, mean about 47,529, median 42,702. Listings span nearly new to high-mileage used.
- Body types: SUV, Sedan, Coupe, Sports/Roadster, Van/Commercial, Electric SUV/Sedan, and Other. SUVs and sedans account for the largest share of listings.
- Price categories (predefined in the data): Budget (< $20K), Mid-Range ($20K–$40K), Premium ($40K–$70K), and Luxury (> $70K). The sample spans all four bands.
- Flags: about 14% of listings are AMG; about 69% are 4MATIC (AWD). Four listings are electric (EQE/EQS).
Price and mileage
The price distribution (first figure) is right-skewed: most listings fall in the $20K–$70K range, with a cluster in the mid–premium band and a long tail up to $170K (e.g. AMG G 63, AMG S 63). The mileage distribution (figure 11 below) is broadly spread from under 10K to over 100K miles, with many vehicles in the 20K–60K band.
Price vs mileage (scatter, colored by price category) shows a clear negative relationship: higher mileage tends to go with lower prices, as expected for used vehicles. The correlation between price and mileage in this sample is about −0.55. Luxury and premium listings often sit in the low-mileage, high-price corner; budget and mid-range listings tend to have higher mileage. A few very low–mileage, high-price points (e.g. near-new AMG or GLS) stand out as the “like new” segment.
Depreciation and model year
Listings by year (second figure) show that the sample is concentrated in recent model years: 2022–2025 account for a large share of listings, with fewer entries for older years (2005–2018). That reflects both market availability and the nature of a single snapshot of listings.
Median price by model year (fourth figure) illustrates the model-year effect: newer years generally command higher median prices. The most recent years (2024–2025) show high median prices, with a mix of luxury, premium, and mid-range vehicles; older years (e.g. 2014–2019) show lower medians, consistent with depreciation. Year-to-year variation is also driven by the mix of body types and trims in each year (e.g. more SUVs and AMG in recent years).
Body types and model series
Price by body type (boxplot) shows that Other (e.g. AMG G-Class, some AMG S) and Sports/Roadster sit at the high end of the price range; Sedan and SUV span from budget to luxury. Van/Commercial (Metris, Sprinter) and Coupe tend to sit in mid and premium bands. Electric SUV/Sedan (EQE, EQS) in this sample are in the premium range.
Top model series by listing count (sixth figure) are led by GLA, GLC, GLE, C-Class, and E-Class—the volume segments in the USA. Top model series by median price (seventh figure, among series with at least two listings) highlight AMG G 63, AMG S 63, S-Class, GLS, and AMG GT at the top, with GLA, GLB, C-Class, and A-Class at lower median prices. So the data clearly separates volume-oriented series from high-end and performance series.
AMG and 4MATIC
About 14% of listings are AMG. AMG vs non-AMG (eighth figure): median price for AMG is about $54,695 versus $31,998 for non-AMG—a substantial premium for the performance sub-brand. The boxplot shows AMG listings concentrated in the premium and luxury bands, with a wider spread for non-AMG from budget to luxury.
About 69% of listings are 4MATIC. 4MATIC vs non-4MATIC (ninth figure): median price for 4MATIC is about $34,398 versus $32,900 for non-4MATIC—a smaller difference. 4MATIC is common across the range (entry-level GLA/GLB to S-Class), so the AWD flag alone does not imply a large price step; the main price drivers are model series and trim.
Price bands and value
The price category distribution (tenth figure) shows how many listings fall in each band: Budget (< $20K), Mid-Range ($20K–$40K), Premium ($40K–$70K), and Luxury (> $70K). The sample has a spread across all four, with a strong presence in mid-range and premium—typical for a Mercedes-focused listing set.
Price-per-mile (price divided by mileage) is a simple “dollars per mile” measure. Price-per-mile by body type (twelfth figure) shows which segments have the highest median price per mile: very low–mileage or high-price body types (e.g. Sports/Roadster, Other) can show high price-per-mile; high-mileage or lower-price segments (e.g. some sedans, vans) show lower values. This metric is sensitive to both price level and mileage, so it helps compare “value density” across segments in this snapshot.
Electric vs conventional
The dataset includes four electric listings (EQE and EQS). Electric vs non-electric (thirteenth figure) compares price levels: in this small slice, electric (EQE/EQS) listings sit in the premium band, with median price above the overall sample median. The number of EV listings is too small to generalize, but the figure illustrates that early EQE/EQS used listings in the data are positioned in the premium segment relative to the rest of the sample.
Limitations
This analysis is descriptive and based on a single snapshot of 108 listings in the USA. It does not represent all Mercedes-Benz listings or sales; selection and source (e.g. one or several platforms) can bias the mix of years, body types, and price bands. Listing prices are not transaction prices. We do not control for trim, options, or condition beyond what is in the dataset. No causal claims are made; correlations (e.g. price vs mileage, AMG premium) are associative. The electric subset is very small and not representative of the broader EV market.
Conclusion
Using the Mercedes-Benz Price Dataset 2005–2025 USA (Kaggle, ibrahimshahrukh), we summarized 108 listings across model years 2005–2025. Prices range from about $6.4K to $170K, with a median of $33.5K and a right-skewed distribution. Mileage spans 628 to 186.5K miles, with a negative correlation between price and mileage (−0.55). Listings are concentrated in recent years and in SUV and sedan body types; GLA, GLC, GLE, C-Class, and E-Class lead by volume, while AMG G 63, AMG S 63, S-Class, and GLS lead by median price. AMG listings carry a clear median premium ($54.7K vs ~$32K for non-AMG); 4MATIC shows a smaller median premium. Price-per-mile varies by body type and reflects both price level and mileage. The small electric (EQE/EQS) slice sits in the premium band. This post is a descriptive, data-driven overview of the dataset—not advice on buying or selling—and all findings depend on the cleaned CSV and the 108 listings included.
Data and methodology
- Source: Mercedes-Benz Price Dataset 2005–2025 USA by ibrahimshahrukh on Kaggle.
- Columns used: Vehicle_Name, Year, Vehicle_Age, Model_Series, Trim_Level, Body_Type, Is_AMG, Is_4MATIC, Mileage_Miles, Mileage_Category, Price_USD, Price_Category, Price_Per_Mile.
- Cleaning: Year, Vehicle_Age, Mileage_Miles, Price_USD, Price_Per_Mile, Is_AMG, and Is_4MATIC were coerced to numeric; rows with missing or non-positive Price_USD were dropped. Model_Series was used to flag electric (EQE, EQS) for the electric vs non-electric comparison.
