MAKE SENSE OF THE NUMBERS

An older model year changes more than the price.

A price gap is not a depreciation rate

These prices compare different vehicles on the market. An older model year may offer a lower asking price, but mileage, equipment and the mix of listings also change.

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.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class value & depreciation questions

Answers grounded in the data shown here.

How much does a Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class depreciate per year?

This snapshot does not measure annual depreciation of one car. The 2002 typically asks $8,210, 11% below the 2009's $9,275. These are different vehicles listed on October 2, 2026; mileage, trim, condition and redesigns can affect the difference.

How do older Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class asking prices compare with the newest model year?

A 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class asks about 89% of the 2009's typical asking price ($8,210 vs $9,275). The “Share of baseline ask” column in the table above shows the same share for every model year in between.

Which Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class model year is cheapest?

The 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class is the most affordable model year we track, typically listed at $4,942. Compare every year in the table above.

How many Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class model years can I compare here?

This depreciation curve covers 11 model years, from 1999 to 2009, each priced from dealer listings in the October 2, 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 CLK-Class 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.
