Mercedes-Benz true cost of ownership
Mercedes-Benz is one of the auto world’s most esteemed luxury brands, and for a good reason. Each model lineup from Mercedes-Benz is carefully crafted to offer the best, but what about the cost? The Mercedes-Benz true cost of ownership might not be what shoppers expect, and that’s good news for those who may be looking into the luxury segment. Because we’re believers in Mercedes models, we wanted to fill you in on what owning the brand entails, and on what it’s like compared with non-luxury brands.
Mercedes-Benz vs. Toyota cost to own
There are plenty of benefits to owning a luxury car, but what does it cost? We compared Mercedes-Benz with another popular brand- Toyota- to figure out how major the difference between owning each vehicle is (over the course of 5 years). To be consistent, we’ve chosen MY2016 vehicles that can be considered middle-of-the-road options for each brand.

Over the course of 5 years, there is a difference in cost between the models, but not a major one. The cost of fuel is the largest difference, but broken down, the Mercedes-Benz model is only about $30 more per month (due to its need for premium fuel). Of course, the initial cost of the Mercedes-Benz will typically be higher, unless you’re able to find a pre-owned model. At Autos of Dallas, we carry pre-owned 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class models for less. If you’re interested in setting up a test drive, you can use our simple online scheduler, or call the dealership directly.
