Hi I’m at a point of selling my 2015 C63 AMG. W204 model. It is the last car of its generation with non-turbo V8 engine. Will its value go up by keeping it as a rare collective just like Dodge Vyper ?

 

Unless it is a 2012 black series, I don't see any increase in value anytime soon, if it is just a standard car, unlikely to ever go up until it bottoms out at like 5 or 10k, maybe a 507 will be a bit more desirable but really not a car that will appreciate very much and not until it depreciates a lot more. I suspect it will end up much like the E55, great car, great engine, but really not worth much anymore.

 

Have you driven it? Yes? Won't be valuable. The only value is whatever value it has to you. Do you love the car? Don't like what else is out there? Keep it. Don't like it? Want something with newer tech / feels newer? Sell it.

 

Shouldn't the W204s eventually go up in value based on the power plant alone? AMG is NEVER going to make a 6.2L again.

 

It'll go up pretty soon based on all the money being printed and dynamics of inflation just like a loaf of bread. Just a natural progression. As for being worth more otherwise.... Maybe when a lot more of the 50,000 or so produced get wrecked lol.

 

They will continue to drop in value until they find their base flat-line for a clean low mileage car, then in about 2040-2045 they will command a higher price for an extremely low mileage, pristine car.

This is how the "vintage" car market goes, children and teenagers develop a love for a specific car which they cannot afford, they go through life with these teenage ideals imprinted on them until they finally have enough disposable income to buy toys, and are now forced to compete with a depleted market with all of the other people their age with buying power and the same dreams. You saw this with old hot rods, then muscle cars, now the 80s cars, you get the idea....
