Mercedes S-Class Resale Value in Malaysia — W222/W223
S-Class resale: W222 S400 loses 55–65% in 5 years due to high running costs. W223 early used prices hold better. Air suspension condition is the single biggest resale factor.
S-Class Resale Value — High Depreciation Warning
S-Class has one of the highest depreciation rates of any Mercedes in Malaysia — mainly because the running and maintenance costs deter used buyers. A W222 S400 that cost RM 700,000 new can trade for RM 200,000–300,000 after 5–7 years. AIRMATIC suspension condition is the single biggest factor that affects used value — a faulty AIRMATIC can drop asking price by RM 30,000–60,000.
