### Depreciation Insight
The Mercedes-Benz Clase E depreciation for the 2012 model follows a typical luxury‑car trajectory: a significant initial drop, followed by a slower decline as the vehicle ages. Data shows the vehicle typically loses 15‑20% of its value in the first year after purchase, then an average of 10‑12% per year thereafter. By the third or fourth year, the 2012 model often sits at roughly 45‑50% of its original MSRP, depending on condition and market demand.
The depreciation curve for a Mercedes-Benz Clase E 2012 price thus looks like this:
- 0–1 yr: 15‑25% decline
- 1–3 yrs: ~10% per year
- After 4 yrs: 12–14% per year, leveling out over 10‑twenty years.
These figures are averages; high‑maintenance or flood‑damaged models will fall faster, while certified pre‑owned (CPO) units with pristine records tend to hold closer to the higher side of the range.
### Comparison Context
Compared to similar models, the 2012 Clase E stands comfortably in the compact luxury segment. Popular rivals include the BMW 5‑Series E60/61, Audi A6 4‑Series, and Volkswagen Passat GTE. On a per‑mile basis, the Classe E typically offers:
- A slightly better blend of fuel efficiency (around 19‑21 mpg city) and driving dynamics.
- A more plush ride due to its conventional suspension system as opposed to BMW’s sport‑oriented setup.
- A higher resale value over a five‑year period, usually about 7‑10% greater than the A6, and slightly higher than the 5‑Series in markets where Mercedes enjoys a premium brand perception.
