Understanding The Mercedes‑Benz E Class AMG 2012 Price is essential before you start your search. While the initial retail price at launch was approximately €110,000 in Europe (or about $130,000 in the U.S., depending on imports and taxes), the current used Mercedes‑Benz E Class AMG price varies significantly based on geographic region, condition, mileage, and dealer versus private sales. Notably, Mercedes‑Benz E Class AMG depreciation patterns are similar to other high‑performance luxury sedans: a steep initial drop followed by a more gradual decline.

The first year typically sees a loss of roughly 15–20% from the new vehicle’s MSRP, primarily driven by the full capitalization of the car’s brand value. After that, the yearly depreciation fee usually falls to about 12–15% for the next two years, and then moderates to about 8–10% annually from the third to the sixth year. A one‑year‑old Mercedes‑Benz E Class AMG running in good condition with moderate mileage (e.g., 15,000 miles) often retains around 55–60% of its original retail price.

In a typical scenario, a 2012 Mercedes‑Benz E Class AMG 2012 price for a well‑maintained, low‑mileage example today would fall into the €7,500–€12,500 ($10,000–$17,000) range in the European used‑car market, while in the U.S. it would range between $12,000–$24,000. These generic figures illustrate the realistic depreciation trend and help customers assess whether a 2012 AMG is a worthwhile investment.

When you compare a Mercedes‑Benz E Class AMG to similar high‑performance sedans—such as the BMW 535i M Performance or the Audi S5 (Audi A6 3.0 TFSI Quattro)—you’ll notice a few distinct differences:

• Curb Appeal: The E Class AMG’s coupe‑ish profile is more aggressive, giving it a sportier stance than the more sedan‑like BMW 5 Series.
• Powertrain: The 3.5‑L twin‑turbo V6 in the AMG delivers more torque at low RPMs compared to the flat‑engine 4.4‑
