Mercedes-Benz - Clase A (2008)
Looking for a thrill‑seeker on a budget? The Mercedes‑Benz Clase A forces a distinctive glance with its striking silhouette and unmistakable chrome. Even a 2008 model carries a legacy of elegance, trim‑level flexibility and a touch of prestige—all wrapped in a price tag that can adapt to your local market. Whether you’re comparing the Mercedes‑Benz Clase A price with similar entry‑level luxury cars or exploring how a used vehicle stacks up against a brand‑new model, you’ll find key insights that help you decide when and where to buy.

These specs set the scene for a vehicle that feels lighter and more agile than its larger siblings but retains the premium feel of the Mercedes brand. The engine’s balance of horsepower and torque? That’s what many drivers cite when they ask: what is a 2008 Mercedes‑Benz Clase A worth? Answers vary, and how you read the data can help you recognize true value.
In terms of Mercedes‑Benz Clase A depreciation, the vehicle follows the typical luxury trend: it can lose 15‑20% of its market value during the first year of ownership, followed by a steady decline of 10‑12% annually thereafter. Here’s a quick snapshot to help you estimate:
- Year 0 (new): 100% of original MSRP (varies by market/condition)
- Year 1: ~80‑85% due to first‑year depreciation
- Year 2‑3: ~70‑72% of original MSRP (10%/year down‑slide)
- Year 4‑5: ~60‑61% of original MSRP (again 10% annual decline)
It means a used Mercedes‑Benz Clase A that originally cost $32,000 new might fetch around $28,000 after the first year, falling to about $19,000‑$20,000 after five years. Exact figures, of course, depend on mileage, maintenance history, and regional demand.
Interestingly, the used Mercedes‑Benz Clase A price careful buyers crave—coupled with decent mileage—may still deliver reliable everyday performance. Most owners appreciate a car that’s easy to park in city streets with a 16‑inch wheel rim that creates an intriguing stance. If you’re hunting for a used vehicle, hope in the 2008 to 2012 range is a common recommendation to preserve value while still enjoying the newest technological updates.
