Depreciation

Bought a 2016 C43, 13,000KM for 77,500 AUD. wondering how heavy would depreciation be if i plan to sell it in 2-3 years?

Its a how longs a piece of string scenario but not aware of amg depreciation as ive previously only owned bmw's

Please no condescending comments.

Very excited to drive this car!

If it's a 2016, would it not be a C450?

C43 AMG Coupe
If it’s a C450 less than a C43 simply because of the badging/newer car.

I have no idea what depreciation is like in Australia, but in US if this car was 65k, assuming normal wear and tear and mileage, after 4 years I would say 38k-41k

best be is to play it safe during estimates.

C43 Depreciation

Consumer Reports lists C-class Mercedes as depreciating fast with quality issues, but I believe they're commenting on the previous C-class generation which had no way the appeal of the new C-class. Judging from the comments I hear on my C43 coupe as well as the overwhelmingly positive reviews and road tests the C43's are getting, especially when comparing against the S5 and 440i, I believe the C43 will hold its value better than its predecessors. Just a guess, though

I think it'll be better than the c450's and previous gen, but I have a feeling our value's going to dip soon with the updated 2019's coming out soon

Makes me glad I leased. Dealer can have the car back when I'm done with it, depreciation be damned.
