Which holds its value better, the Mercedes-Benz E300 with the standing emblem or the large emblem?
1 Answers
The standing emblem tends to retain its value slightly better, though in reality, whether it's the large emblem or standing emblem doesn't significantly impact the resale value. Brand influence: This is one of the factors affecting a car's resale value. Generally, French cars < American cars < Chinese domestic cars < German cars ≤ Japanese cars. Currently, the more worthwhile new models to purchase in the market include the Mercedes-Benz, BMW 5 Series, and Lexus, with Audi positioned in the middle range. Luxury brands like Cadillac, Infiniti, and Acura have slightly lower resale values. Vehicle condition: If a car has been involved in a major accident, flood damage, or undergone heavy modifications that alter its structure, its depreciation rate in the second-hand market will significantly increase. Conversely, if the car retains its original factory paint and has no history of accidents, the resale price will be higher.
