Mercedes-Benz 450SL Depreciation Insight
What is the steepest depreciation curve you face with a luxury classic? With automobiles that date back to the mid‑1970s, the early years are marked by the most significant value loss. A dealer or wholesaler might expect the following:
- First year: 15–20% drop from the purchase price as the vehicle enters the secondary market.”
- Second year: The depreciation slows to around 10–12%, reflecting a more stable resale environment.
- Third year onward: Gradual depreciation averaging 5–7% each year, particularly if the car has maintained excellent mileage and has stayed mostly original.
Keep in mind that while the raw percentage give a general trend, the actual depreciation is heavily influenced by condition, mileage, and regional demand. For instance, a 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL in immaculate factory condition will retain significantly more value than a heavily modified or restoration‑related example
