Are these asking prices or selling prices?
These are ADVERTISED asking prices (medians across tracked listings), not completed-sale prices. CarWhere does not yet have enough verified C-Class purchases to publish a reliable buyer-paid average — that figure comes only from real, verified deal sheets, never estimates.
Where does this data come from?
Market figures are derived aggregates (counts, medians, averages) computed monthly from licensed live-listing data covering U.S. dealer inventory. Buyer-paid figures come exclusively from verified buyer-submitted deal sheets. The two are never mixed.
Data sources, methodology & limitations
- Snapshot date: this page reflects the October 2026 national sweep. Figures refresh with one new snapshot per month.
- Asking prices: medians and counts are derived aggregates computed from licensed live-listing data covering U.S. dealer inventory (listings deduplicated per sweep). They are advertised prices — the out-the-door number a buyer negotiates is typically different.
- Buyer-paid figures: sourced exclusively from verified buyer-submitted deal sheets, labeled with model year and shown only when the sample is large enough. Asking data and paid data are never blended. No qualifying verified C-Class sample exists yet.
- Scope: national aggregates — local markets can sit meaningfully above or below these medians. For used C-Class values broken out by model year, see the Mercedes-Benz C-Class depreciation curve.
