When the time comes to buy or sell a pre-owned Mercedes-Benz vehicle, Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis is the dealership you can trust. Learn about the top factors that affect the value of a pre-owned vehicle at our dealership.
Mileage
You may be thinking that age tells us everything we need to know about the health of a pre-owned vehicle, but the truth of the matter is that mileage is a more important factor to consider. It tells drivers how hard the vehicle has been driven, and how much life remains in parts and systems. Vehicles with lower mileage typically have higher values.
Number of Owners
Vehicles with fewer owners tend to be more valuable than pre-owned models that have changed hands often. That’s because you’ll have access to a more comprehensive service history, and there’s a smaller chance that the vehicle was tampered with to be more appealing during the selling process.
History of Accidents and Service
If the vehicle has been in an accident, it’s likely going to lose some of its value, as it may reduce the car’s lifespan or require future repairs. A comprehensive service history, however, can increase the vehicle’s value, since drivers will know it was well-cared for and will likely last a long time. That’s why we always recommend following your vehicle’s service schedule and getting any necessary repairs promptly using genuine Mercedes-Benz parts.
