But it LOOKS like the right-most (highest) data-point must be the new car price? And it shows that steep drop off going to 2009.

And in the case of the E-Class, 2009 was the last year of the old generation (W211 IIRC). So yes, if you graph E-Class prices right now, there will be a huge drop there.

If the 2010 Data Point is something he's purporting to be a "2010 E320" then it must not be a US model. In the US MY2010 began the W212 E-Class.

I applaud this guy for putting together so much data. I just wanted to raise this question because the way the data is presented confuses me a bit.
