Vehiclus surveyed the used auto market of all cities in Argentina to establish a pricing profile of various Mercedes models depending on their age, technical condition, optical condition, and mileage. To maximize your profits when selling your C-Class (or to be certain to not be ripped off when purchasing a Mercedes C-Class) it is useful to learn all price-determining factors.

Supply and Demand of Mercedes C-Class on the local vehicle market

Buenos Aires is a town with 13076300 inhabitants. Nevertheless, it is hard to find more than three Mercedes C-Class on the local car market there. That's why the supply is small and the demand depends on a multitude of factors for example car model reputation, brand popularity, and used car pricing.

Price Devaluation Curve of the C-Class in Buenos Aires

As described in the figure below, cars of the car manufacturer Mercedes and especially of the model C-Class depreciate in a very usual way. The average price of the C-Class will be decreased by 14% ($33,176) after only one year. After three years, the car usually costs only 64% of its initial selling price ($24,470) while it will only be priced at 32% of the MSRP after 7 years ($10,715). The C-Class's value after twelve years is only 11% of its initial price depending on its condition of course.

Depreciation according to mileage

One more way to analyze car depreciation is to look at the decrease of value vs kilometers driven. The Mercedes C-Class depreciation curve below describes this phenomenon for the city of Buenos Aires. The C-Class looses most of its resell price (approximately 46%) within the first 30k kilometers driven. The mean price for a C-Class at that mileage is $21,254. After that the devaluation slows down: at 90,000km the Mercedes C-Class is sold for $12,933 in Buenos Aires and for $6,100 at 180k kilometers .
