Depreciation Insight
Unlike new‑car depreciation curves, classic cars rarely see a dramatic price drop after purchase, especially if cared for properly. A typical Mercedes‑Benz 250 depreciation path looks something like this:
- First year: 15‑20% off the purchase price – often because many buyers wait to get the vehicle on the road before pricing finalizes. <
