Residuals on the outgoing E-class were starting to slide but CAP is predicting that despite the subtle approach to the redesign, used prices at three years/60,000 miles prices will lift by nearly £1,000.
The innovative crash mitigation Pre-Safe system, now standard, is likely to be a strong draw for used buyers, helping RVs as well.
