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.

Check the vehicle history ↗

Mileage is part of the comparison

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.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class value & depreciation questions

Answers grounded in the data shown here.

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

This snapshot does not measure annual depreciation of one car. The 2001 typically asks $6,995, 95% below the 2027's $142,484. These are different vehicles listed on September 25, 2026; mileage, trim, condition and redesigns can affect the difference.

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

A 2001 Mercedes-Benz S-Class asks about 5% of the 2027's typical asking price ($6,995 vs $142,484). The “Share of baseline ask” column in the table above shows the same share for every model year in between.

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

The 2000 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the most affordable model year we track, typically listed at $5,745. Compare every year in the table above.

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

This depreciation curve covers 31 model years, from 1995 to 2027, each priced from dealer listings in the September 25, 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 S-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.

Data snapshot
September 25, 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
31 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.
