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.

What the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class depreciation curve means for buyers

Do older model years always cost less?

2026 typical
$198,954
2027 typical
− $182,614
the 2026 premium
$16,340

9% more than the 2027

Not always. The 2026 asks more than the 2027 — leftover inventory, a stronger configuration mix or a thin sample can outweigh a model year. Compare the specific year, not the age.

Priced from 98 and 142 listings in this snapshot.

Where are asking-price differences largest?

First 3 model years (2027→2024)
$20,560 a year
The 5 model years after that (2024→2019)
$12,828 a year
the early years
1.6× steeper

The asking-price gap per model year is larger between 2027 and 2024 than between 2024 and 2019. These are different listing samples, not one car's price history.

Thin sample: priced from 98 and 26 listings in this snapshot.

Which single model year costs the most to skip?

$86,717 below the 2027 ask

Mercedes-Benz SL-Class value & depreciation questions

Answers grounded in the data shown here.

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

This snapshot does not measure annual depreciation of one car. The 1999 typically asks $16,946, 91% below the 2027's $182,614. These are different vehicles listed on September 26, 2026; mileage, trim, condition and redesigns can affect the difference.

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

A 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class asks about 9% of the 2027's typical asking price ($16,946 vs $182,614). The “Share of baseline ask” column in the table above shows the same share for every model year in between.

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

The 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is the most affordable model year we track, typically listed at $10,995. Compare every year in the table above.

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

This depreciation curve covers 32 model years, from 1994 to 2027, each priced from dealer listings in the September 26, 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 SL-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

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
32 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.
