With an older car, age is only the starting point.
Condition can outweigh age
Restoration, originality, modifications and condition can affect asking prices for older vehicles. A higher price for an older model year does not prove appreciation.
Condition needs its own check
History, equipment and physical condition can change the value of an individual car. A model-year median cannot confirm any of them.

Open a model year above to compare asking prices within odometer groups. A small sample can change noticeably with a single listing; missing mileage is excluded.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Mercedes-Benz 560 value & depreciation questions
Answers grounded in the data shown here.
How much does a Mercedes-Benz 560 depreciate per year?
This snapshot does not measure annual depreciation of one car. The 1986 typically asks $27,292, 6% below the 1989's $28,995. These are different vehicles listed on October 6, 2026; mileage, trim, condition and redesigns can affect the difference.
How do older Mercedes-Benz 560 asking prices compare with the newest model year?
A 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 asks about 94% of the 1989's typical asking price ($27,292 vs $28,995). The “Share of baseline ask” column in the table above shows the same share for every model year in between.
Which Mercedes-Benz 560 model year is cheapest?
The 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 is the most affordable model year we track, typically listed at $24,999. Compare every year in the table above.
How many Mercedes-Benz 560 model years can I compare here?
This depreciation curve covers 4 model years, from 1986 to 1989, each priced from dealer listings in the October 6, 2026 snapshot.
Is this a forecast of my car's resale value?
No. These are dealer asking prices for different vehicles in a dated snapshot. They do not measure the value lost by one car over time, original MSRP depreciation, or final transaction prices.
How does mileage affect Mercedes-Benz 560 asking prices?
Open a model year to see its available odometer groups, asking prices and listing counts. Mileage is the distance recorded on the odometer. Price differences also reflect condition, trim and equipment; sparse groups are labelled separately.

Where these numbers come from
Compiled by VinAssessment from dealer listing data. Prices shown are asking prices, not completed transactions.
- Market & currency
- United States · USD · all available trims
- Data snapshot
- October 6, 2026
- Typical price
- Median asking price per model year, or the average when the median is unavailable. The price basis is labelled on each row.
- Price range
- 25th–75th percentile: the middle half of the listing sample, not a confidence interval. Missing ranges are not estimated.
- Coverage
- 4 qualifying model years with at least 10 listings each. Headline price-gap calculations require at least 25 listings per year. Gaps in data do not establish a generation change.
- Mileage groups
- Only positive, usable odometer readings. Groups with fewer than 5 listings are observations, not dependable market estimates. Reported odometer readings do not verify actual lifetime mileage.
- What is not measured
- Original MSRP loss, future resale value, or a guaranteed price for an individual VIN.
