Mercedes-Benz S-Class keeps an estimated 47% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #421 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class retains an estimated 47% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #421 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 7 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $119,550 it falls to around $55,829 by year five — a five-year loss near $63,721, about $34.92 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Mercedes-Benz S-Class bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
