Mercedes-Benz CLE keeps an estimated 59% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #357 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Mercedes-Benz CLE retains an estimated 59% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #357 of 684 cars we track. That is 3 points above the 55% five-year average for Luxury in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Mercedes-Benz CLE sheds about 2% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $59,550 it falls to around $34,896 by year five — a five-year loss near $24,654, about $13.51 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Mercedes-Benz CLE bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
