Why are Mercedes and BMW that cost over $70k new so awful in resale value?????

I've found 2000 MB S500 which originally sold for close to $100k going for under $15k now. And 2002 BMW 745i which originally sold for $80 going for around $20k.



What gives? They are all in great condition and around 80k miles.

Because they cost an arm and leg to repair.......and repair you will! Also they do not have the reliablity of a Japanese or even an American car!

simple German cars are unreliable we have a mercesdes 1993 400SEL we bought it new for like $100,000 and now its worth about $8,000
Most people who buy Mercedes and BMW's have the means and are willing to pay a premium for a brand new car. The key stat that you included was the relatively high mileage (80K). This is pretty high for cars of this caliber and turns off a lot of buyers for these premium cars.



Also, you are referring to cars that are now close to 7 or 8 years old. I bet if you were to look at BMW's or Mercedes that are only a few years old, the resale value would be much higher.
Those resale values don't sound good, they might be very high mileage cars or have been in accidents.
