What is a 2001 Mercedes‑Benz CLK worth?
When evaluating the used Mercedes‑Benz CLK price, pay attention to mileage, maintenance history, and the vehicle's cosmetic condition. A well‑maintained 2001 model with low mileage typically commands a price that reflects its status as a premium sports coupe. While the exact figure depends on your region and the car's condition, you can expect the price to range from a few thousand euros to over €10,000 in markets where depreciation has been moderate.
Mercedes‑Benz CLK depreciation is a key consideration. Generally, this model loses around 15‑20% of its value in the first year after purchase. Over the next several years, the decline slows to roughly 3‑5% per year, bringing the total depreciation to about 50‑60% over a decade. Understanding these figures helps you gauge how much you can expect to resell or insure the vehicle for, especially if you plan to hold it for a single season or longer.
Here’s a quick glance at realistic annual depreciation percentages for the 2001 CLK:
- Year 1: 15–20%
- Year 2–3: 5–8% per year
- Year 4–10: 3–5% per year
When you factor in typical maintenance costs—like oil changes, brake pads, tires, and occasional luxury service—its overall long‑term cost of ownership remains in line with other luxury options of the era.
Comparison context is also vital. In comparison to similar models such as the BMW 3‑Series (E46) or the Audi S4 (C4), the Mercedes‑Benz CLK stands out for its spacious cockpit, smooth V8 power, and classic ALPINA‑style chassis. While the CLK generally carries a slightly higher price tag in the used market due to its brand prestige, it offers comparable performance and a more upscale interior, which can justify a modest premium for many buyers. Furthermore, the CLK often resists resell value erosion better than more mainstream rivals when kept in excellent condition.
