If you want to know the Mercedes-Benz C 320 price in 2005 or the current market value, this overview gives you the key facts and figures to make a confident decision.

While the exact Mercedes-Benz C 320 2005 price varies by region, mileage, and condition, the classic 2005 model is generally priced between €18,000 and €28,000 in Europe, and similarly steep in North America once currency fluctuations and import duties are considered.

Mercedes-Benz C 320 depreciation is a critical factor for buyers and sellers alike. Historically, a fresh 2005 model will typically lose 15–20% of its value in the first year. Over the first five years, the cumulative depreciation often hovers around 55‑60%. After that, the rate slows, and the car can retain roughly 15–20% of its original price over the next decade—though this varies heavily with mileage, maintenance history, and accident record. Older models with an “excellent” service history, low mileage, and a clean title can still command a premium in niche markets.

Compared to similar models, the 2005 Mercedes-Benz C 320 is competitive with the BMW 3‑Series 320i and Audi A4 D3. The BMW’s equivalent model usually lists slightly higher for similar mileage—around €25,000 versus €22,000 for the Mercedes—while the Audi often sits in the €23,000 range. Under the hood, however, the C 320 shares the same power output but offers a smoother double‑clutch transition, making it a preferred choice for those who value seamless acceleration and refined ride quality over the quarter‑mile triumph the BMW sometimes delivers.

In terms of used Mercedes-Benz C 320 price, you’ll typically find vehicles in the €12,000‑€18,000 bracket if the car has driven 80,000–120,000 km. Those with 150,000+ km or a contested service record drop further to the €10,000‑€12,000 range, while well‑maintained, low‑odometer examples that have kept a full service log can still fetch €18,000 or more. Evidence of a full MMI update and a recent radiator replacement will often tilt a buyer’s perception in favor of a higher asking price.

Popular in the European used car market, the 2005 Mercedes-Benz C 320 occupies a sweet spot across several market segments:

• Luxury‑compact segment for executive buyers desiring prestige without a full SUV.
• Second‑hand premium segment where depreciation curves have flattened, offering value for brand reliability.
• Corporate fleets that prefer a robust, turbocharged engine with low annual ownership costs.

What is a 2005 Mercedes-Benz C 320 worth? The answer quickly comes down to brand perception, condition, and mileage. A pristine example with an impeccable service record could
