My Mercedes C55 is worth more now than it was 2 years ago.

After dropping $2,000 in my CL65 I could easily sell it for twice what I paid. biggrin


I'll hang on to it. Ma Mopar just doesn't offer anything to compete with it.


Let's be fair, Feets. All good used vehicles have went up in value the last 18+ months. Any evaluation guide will show that average depreciation rates for most luxury vehicles exceed more pedestrian models. Especially when a model is replaced by the latest and greatest offering by the manufacturer.

To be honest, most folks would expect more for nearly a quarter of a million dollars.


That was the point I was reinforcing. Everything is up.
Guys on the C55 groups are talking about rising values and are mistaken thinking its about the car instead of the market.

As for the depreciation, that happens on all premium non-exotic cars. That's one of the reasons these cars are usually leased for one or two years instead of kept long term by the original owner.


We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
