Mercedes-Benz Value Retention

In June 2007, Mercedes was honored with three awards from the readers of the Motor Klassik trade journal. The awards were given for Mercedes models that readers voted as the next “Classics to Be.” The three honored cars were voted best in their respective classes: upper medium class, convertible and off roader.

The three vehicles that were honored are the Mercedes CLS, Mercedes SL and Mercedes G class respectively. Runner-up awards were given to the Mercedes SLR McLaren (sports cars), Maybach 57/62 (luxury cars) and Smart Fortwo (mini cars).

This impressive list of awards demonstrates what Mercedes owners have known for some time, which is that the Mercedes-Benz holds its value extremely well. Mercedes is known for pairing form and function, creating cars that are aesthetically pleasing yet consistently tops in performance. Vintage Mercedes continue to be in high demand, and the classics to be seem destined for a bright future.

The awards on based on quite a few criteria, including brand loyalty and trust, aesthetics, reliability, performance and resale prices. The awards are given to those cars that readers feel best encapsulate the combination of factors that make a car destined for greatness.
