Depreciation Insights The Mercedes‑Benz SLK‑Class depreciation curve behaves predictably for luxury roadsters. A freshly purchased, low‑mileage model commonly loses about 15‑20% of its value within its first year—an important factor for those who plan to sell or trade in within a short timeframe. Following that, the annual depreciation rate stabilizes at roughly 8‑10% per year until the vehicle reaches five years of age. By the third year, the vehicle typically sits at approximately 60‑65% of the original new‑car price, and by the fifth year the residual value may hover around 40‑45% of the initial sticker. With the 2012 SLK‑Class, used model values reflect these trends. A baseline 3.5‑liter V6 with 70,000‑mile mileage in good condition usually commands between 55‑65% of the original price in many markets. When an AMG‑tuned 317 hp variant is considered, the depreciation curve slightly deviates due to the higher starting value, but it generally follows the same trajectory where the key deciding factor remains mileage, service history, and the presence or absence of optional upgrades such as the AMG Sport package. What Is a 2012 Mercedes‑Benz SLK‑Class Worth? Because exact numbers fluctuate as you adjust for geographic market, trim, service history, and engine power, a straightforward answer requires reference to the *Mercedes‑Benz SLK‑Class 2012 price* chart in your specific region. On average, a 2012 convertible with a standard V6 and moderate mileage falls in the mid‑$10,000 to mid‑$12,000 range in markets like North America and Western Europe. AMG‑trim models often sit a few thousand dollars higher
