2014 S Class Production Increase
Mercedes just a announced they are increasing production of the 2014 S Class to meet the high demand. The Sindelfingen, Germany, S Class manufacturing plant decided to introduce Saturday shifts and the union has agreed to extend their work shifts an additional 74 minutes a day. Good news for those awaiting a 2014 S Class!

I don't think the s-class was ever going to be a low production vehicle so I don't think it makes a difference one way or another for resale value whether they upped production or not.
The only way I could see it effect resale value is in the very short term, where people who own the car now are trying to sell them for a profit due to the demand. You can find examples of that on cars.com under used inventory. I see a few where they were bought from Benzel Busch in NJ and put up for sale at Manhattan Motorcars (both dealers are reputable - MM being the authorized Porsche dealership in Manhattan). You can also see the ones that are being sold by individual sellers and of course the ebay sellers. I saw one in California where the owner of a '14 s63 wants to sell his for a huge profit because he needs to buy a house instead...

I still will NEVER get the logic of someone who is worried about "resale value" of a car... If you are so concerned about resale value 1) buy used, NOT new; 2) don't buy a MB (or an AMG for that matter); 3) don't buy the car until you can actually afford it (and I don't mean that you can finally make the payment, I mean truly afford it)...
The only vehicles worth ever considering "resale value" are collectibles, and an S Class certainly doesn't fit that category, nor any other production car out there...

Cars aren't an investment. If you plan to buy a car on December 19, 2013 and you are worried about the value of it on Decemeber 19, 2015, you shoul not be "investing" in an automobile.
You should be investing in Stock Market / Gold 101.
