Sorted by median, lowest first. These are gross asking prices. They include the VAT due in each country (19% in Germany, 21% in Spain and the Netherlands, 23% in Portugal; on margin-scheme cars only on the dealer’s margin) and, in Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands, registration tax that has already been paid. Compare the landed cost before you buy abroad.
Like-for-like index
The same model year, mileage band and fuel compared across countries, weighted by the eight-country mix. 100 is the eight-country average; differences are index points, not savings.

Price outlook: what older cars suggest
Two readings of today's dealer asking prices for Mercedes-Benz SL across the eight countries: how the price differs between registration years, and how the prices of cars still for sale moved in recent weeks. A guide, not a forecast for any one car.

Age effect: older registration years of the same model
If today's pattern between registration years held, a 2023 Mercedes-Benz SL listed at today's median of €119,300 would be listed at about €123,400 in 12 months (range €113,400–€134,000).

Typical change over a year at about 18.3 years old: −3% (80% range −8% to +3%). From 519 cars of 449 dealers aged 1 to 31 years; never extended past the oldest cars. The range (80%) is the uncertainty of this comparison between registration years, not a resale-price range for one car.
The market as a whole
The whole used-car market can move separately from the age effect. Centred on no change: since December 2016, at least 80% of the overlapping periods of Eurostat's HICP “second-hand motor cars” index for the EU (27 countries) stayed within:
- In 3 months: −1.3% to +1.3%
- In 6 months: −2.2% to +2.3%
- In 12 months: −4.7% to +4.9%
Read the age-effect and market ranges separately; do not add them. The country or EU index covers all used cars, not this model. Past moves are no guarantee.

While a car is for sale
All models across the eight countries
- After one week, dealer asking prices for cars still for sale across the eight countries, across all models, had changed by −0.3% on average (indicative range −1.0% to +0.5%, set from how much models' changes varied across all eight countries in the latest week we could check); 10% of the cars were listed lower at the end of at least one observed week (69,260 cars from 4,989 dealers).
- After 2 weeks, dealer asking prices for cars still for sale across the eight countries, across all models, had changed by −0.5% on average (indicative range −1.6% to +0.6%, set from how much models' changes varied across all eight countries in the latest week we could check); 14% of the cars were listed lower at the end of at least one observed week (30,643 cars from 2,801 dealers).
This figure combines all models across the countries shown. In testing, separate model figures predicted the next week no better. The indicative range uses a shared width set from all eight countries. Coverage within each country and in later weeks is unverified. Cars sold or withdrawn leave the sample, and we never see sale prices.
Asking prices, not sale prices. Today's older cars are different cars (trim, mileage, sometimes another generation) and markets move: treat this as a guide. How the outlook works and how it tested
