Are you currently in the market to buy (or sell) a Mercedes CLK in Johannesburg? Vehiclus analyzed the local used auto market of all towns in South Africa to determine a pricing profile of various Mercedes models depending on their age, technical condition, optical condition, and mileage. If you want to optimize your earnings when selling your CLK (or to make sure to not be overcharged when purchasing a Mercedes CLK) it is of value to understand all value-determining variables.
Johannesburg is a town with 2026469 inhabitants. Nevertheless, there are not many Mercedes CLK for sale on the market. That's why the supply is little and the demand depends on various of parameters for example maintenance costs, fuel mileage, and reliability.
As seen below, cars of the car manufacturer Mercedes and especially of the model CLK depreciate in a very conventional way. The mean price of the CLK will be decreased by 13% ($61,096) after only 1 year. After 3 years, the car usually costs only 62% of its original asking price ($44,734) while it will only be worth 30% of the original price after 7 years ($20,735). The CLK's value after twelve years is only 12% of its initial price depending on its condition of course.
Another way to describe car depreciation is to study the loss of value over mileage. The Mercedes CLK depreciation curve below shows this phenomenon for Johannesburg. The CLK looses most of its resell price (~ 50%) within the first 30k kilometers of its mileage. The typical price for a CLK at that mileage is ca $39,772. After that the devaluation plateaus: at 90k km the Mercedes CLK is priced for $24,097 in Johannesburg and for $12,480 at 180k kilometers of mileage.
The last parameter that heavily effects the sell price of a second-hand car is the technical and optical condition of the vehicle. The table below describes the devaluation of a Mercedes CLK according to its year and its condition.
