Per VINdown's modeling, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class retains an estimated 79% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #18 of 530 cars we track. That is 25 points above the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
The loss does not land all at once here: the Mercedes-Benz G-Class sheds about 4% in year one and keeps going at much the same rate. From roughly $140,950 it falls to around $111,491 by year five — a five-year loss near $29,459, about $16.14 a day in depreciation.
There is no single sweet spot on the Mercedes-Benz G-Class: it gives up a similar share of its value every year rather than falling off a cliff, so how long you keep it matters more than what age you buy it at.
