Which retains its value better, the large emblem or the upright emblem on the Mercedes-Benz E300?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz C-Class, E-Class, and S-Class sedans all offer two styles for consumers to choose from: the large emblem and the upright emblem. The large emblem looks more sporty and bold, while the upright emblem appears more elegant and dignified, suitable for business occasions. The following factors affect the resale value: 1. Brand influence: Brand influence is one of the decisive factors for resale value. Generally, French cars rank lower than American cars, which rank lower than domestic cars, which rank lower than German cars, which rank lower than or equal to Japanese cars. Currently, the luxury brands with better resale value in the market are Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Lexus, with Audi in the middle range, while Cadillac, Infiniti, Acura, and other luxury brands have relatively lower resale value. 2. Vehicle ownership: Vehicle ownership, or sales volume, is the result of cumulative sales over the years. Generally, the higher the vehicle ownership, the higher the resale value, although some niche cars with special value (e.g., Renault Mégane RS, Mitsubishi EVO9, etc.) also have very high resale value. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class has relatively high ownership, so its resale value is also relatively high. 3. Configuration and color: Top-tier models, due to their higher original prices, tend to depreciate more than mid- or low-tier models of the same series. Additionally, if the color of the car is too unconventional, it can also affect the resale value.
