I am curious to see how long each of you plan on keeping your W204. I tend to buy for the long term, but I would like to see what everyone else is doing.....

Six to seven years has been my practice in the past. If a car is traded in to an MB dealer, the car must not exceed the age and mileage limits to be eligible for a CPO warranty. Otherwise, the trade-in price is less. In the past, high mileage cars were sent the the auction because used MB buyers don't want no-warranty cars.

They also won't buy modified cars and the dealers don't want them, BTW.

I'm thinking about the 2014 W205 unless it's as ugly as the spy drawings make it look.

mr inkredibul

I spent too much money already..I'll be keeping it for a long while lol

probably 6-8 yrs...figure after 8 yrs/100k miles, maintenance cost will begin to sky rock..

C300Sport

I will keep her as long as she doesn't give up on me.

Since I have always take really good care of my cars, they tend to look very good long term. As long as the upkeep doesn't become prohibitive, I wouldn't have any issues keeping her longer than a decade.

i usually trade every 2-3 years but this car may be a keeper unless i trade for a used ml.

this car just feels right and i like it more now than when i bought it which is rare for my add issues with cars.
