Depreciation Insights
Depreciation curves vary across model years and conditions, but the general pattern remains steady. In the first year after purchase, most luxury vehicles experience a hit of 15‑20% of the original price. For a Mercedes-Benz C Class 2003 price, this translates into a sizeable drop, especially when the car enters the “used” category.
Here’s a realistic, year‑by‑year estimate based on market trends:
- Year 1: 15‑20% impact on original value
- Year 2: 22‑27% cumulative depreciation (average 10‑12% additional loss)
- Year 3: 34‑39% cumulative depreciation (average 7‑8% additional loss)
- Year 4: 45‑50% cumulative depreciation (average 6‑7% additional loss)
- Year 5: 54‑60% cumulative depreciation (average 5‑6% additional loss)
- Beyond Year 5: 60‑65% cumulative depreciation (steady decline of 4‑5% per year)
These numbers are averages across the used Mercedes-Benz C Class price spectrum, taking into account mileage, service history and geographic region. Owners who keep their vehicles well‑maintained and prevent excessive mileage will typically see a slightly gentler depreciation curve.
