I love mine also. I am averaging in the 30+ mpg. Truly an under rated car. And I have 6 consecutive Sclass vehicles and I think this wagon is the cats pajamas!!! And I think she will hold value slightly better than sedans or SUV.
Just my two cents

Love mine too. Review is on the money, even though their mileage of 25mpg does not align to mine. The lowest I have gotten, is 26.4mpg, during a 1500 mile trip, with a roof-top box, and around 1000 lbs of luggage and people and dogs in the car.

For your sake I hope so, but sincerely doubt it: Go to KBB.com and you will see that SUV's as a class hold their value the best, then sedans. Specialty cars or premium cars tend to depreciate the most: S class, Maybach, BMW 740 and Audi 8's. With a substantial premium over the standard E Class, expect the AT to not hold its value as well as a standard E Class. BTW, the residuals on a lease for the AT are worse than the residuals on the E Class, indicating that Mercedes thinks the AT will not hold its value as well as the E Class. At a higher starting price, even if the residuals are the same for the AT and the E Class, the dollar depreciation on the AT will be greater than on the E Class.
With regard to depreciation, the sad fact is that the more you pay, the more you lose.
But you didn't buy the AT to save money but to enjoy it - so do!

Love mine as well. I've had my AT for 7 months now and once I figured out the screen and other design changes, I'm glad I upgraded from my W213 AT. My AT with 19 inch wheels also came standard with summer tires but my dealer switched them to all season tires. As I commented on another thread, I'm shopping around for winter tires for the upcoming ski season and will post an update at the end of the ski season. According to the MB app, my recent milage driving around NYC was 12.3 mpg with an average speed of 7 mph!
