E Class Price Crash?

[T5R+]

Interested in opinions over whether you think the prices will reduce drastically with the launch of the new E.

Fancy a nicely loaded E320/350/500 a few years old 2006/7/8 (diesel or petrol - not too bothered) but prepared to wait if the consensus view is massive falls in second hand values.

They are already taking a battering in the second-hand market because of the massive savings on a new one; so, I can't see the launch of the new model having a massive impact on their values, except perhaps the 'nearly new demo's' sat on dealers forecourts.

FWIW if you are looking at financing the car then a new one would probably work out quite a bit cheaper on a pcp.
