Today, the Mercedes-Benz A Class 2009 price varies dramatically across markets and vehicle condition—fuel‑type, mileage, interior upgrades, and service history all play a role in determining the asking price.

Depreciation Insight: The Mercedes-Benz A Class depreciation trend follows the typical pattern of luxury compact cars. New vehicles normally lose between 15‑20 % of their value in the first year. Within the second to third year, another 10‑15 % depreciation is common as the vehicle may lose appeal to buyers seeking newer technology or a newer design. Over a five‑year period, the total loss may range from 35‑45 % of the original price, depending on mileage, maintenance history, and market demand. For a used vehicle, it’s important to consider that depreciation can be steeper if the vehicle has had significant accident repairs, high mileage, or lack of service records. A well‑maintained used car with a clean history can retain closer to the original value than a comparable counterpart that has not been serviced regularly. Market Comparison:
Compared to similar models, the A Class offers a more polished interior and a slightly bigger cabin than the entry‑level Benz B‑Series, while staying more affordable than the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class. Economically, it competes with the BMW 1 Series and Audi A3, often presenting a tighter trim or fewer standard features, but with the advantage of Mercedes’ renowned build quality. In terms of resale, the A Class tends to preserve value better than the B‑Series but may lag slightly behind the newer CLA in cachet and future desirability. Market Position Statement: The Mercedes-Benz A Class remains highly popular in the compact luxury segment. Buyers with an eye for European style, modern safety tech, and an efficient powertrain find it a reliable first step into the Mercedes world. It appeals prominently to first‑time luxury owners, young professionals, and families looking to combine stretchable interior space with a well‑balanced vehicle dynamic profile.
