Depreciation Insights
The Mercedes-Benz C 220 depreciation curve follows typical luxury model behavior. Fresh out of the showroom, a new C‑Series usually loses about 15–20% of its value in the first year. After the initial drop, the vehicle’s value stabilizes, with a typical depreciation of 5–7% annually for the next four years. For a 1996 model, you can expect a gradual decline of roughly 1.5–2% per year past the initial years, since older cars tend to depreciate slower once they pass the steep early‑life curve. These figures are averages; actual depreciation depends on mileage, condition, regional demand, and any aftermarket modifications.
