Mercedes-Benz
AMG, packages and air suspension, priced in
A Mercedes-Benz is priced on whether it is a full AMG or has AMG Line styling, on its packages, and on the state of features like AIRMATIC air suspension. We check those from your answers and photos. On a lease, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services has generally allowed outside buyers to pay it off.

What moves the price.
Full AMG or AMG Line
A full AMG model and AMG Line styling on a standard car are priced very differently. Your VIN shows which you have.
Packages
Driver Assistance, Premium and Burmester sound packages matter most on the S-Class, GLE and GLS. Rear-seat and massage packages count on the S-Class and Maybach.
AIRMATIC air suspension
Standard on the S-Class and GLS and fitted to many others. A level stance with no warning lights supports the offer.
Service A and Service B
Mercedes service alternates between Service A and Service B, the first at about 10,000 miles or 1 year. A record of each visit supports the price.
Warranty left
The Mercedes-Benz new-vehicle warranty runs 4 years or 50,000 miles from delivery, and the time left counts. A certified pre-owned warranty is noted too.
Leased Mercedes: often bought from the lease
Mercedes-Benz Financial Services
Lessee reports say Mercedes-Benz Financial Services lifted its limit on outside payoffs in 2022, and it has generally allowed them since. Some recent reports differ, so we check yours before you commit. Where your contract allows, we pay the lender and send you any equity. We confirm on your contract.
Paperwork and records.
Payoff from Mercedes-Benz Financial Services
Your MBFS account number and payoff quote. We pay MBFS directly from the sale, and the rest goes to you.
Window sticker
It lists the packages, AMG options and manufaktur paint. If it’s gone, the VIN and photos of the seats, wheels and dashboard cover most of it.
Service A and B records
Dealer or specialist invoices, or the service history printout from a Mercedes-Benz dealer. Note any AIRMATIC work separately.
Keys and AMG parts
Both keys, and any AMG carbon parts or factory wheels you removed.
Keep Service A and B invoices and any AIRMATIC or suspension repairs. On an AMG, add any track day or performance part receipts. Open recalls on a Mercedes-Benz show by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
