Mercedes-Benz W108/W109

The Mercedes-Benz W108/W109 in the Australian market carries a current median price of AUD $52,921, down 25 percent year-on-year, with a SELL signal suggesting downward momentum has already begun.

Liquidity is severely constrained, with only one transaction recorded in the tracked dataset over the past 12 months and no active listings currently available. This thinness makes price discovery difficult and exit timing critical for any holder.

The W108/W109 holds a collectible designation with a score of 6, but desirability is rated low in the local market, which appears to be restraining both buyer interest and holding power. Production volume data is not available, but the combination of limited regional demand and sparse transaction activity points to a niche appeal at best.

Projections show material deterioration ahead: base case modelling suggests prices could fall to AUD $27,714 over three years (down 47.6 percent) and AUD $22,830 over five years (down 56.9 percent). The gap between current levels and these projections reflects both the depreciating status and medium confidence in a sustained recovery.

For those currently holding this model in Australia, the recommendation remains to wait or sell rather than accumulate further. The combination of illiquid trading, low local desirability, and bearish price trajectory makes this a headwind position in the near to medium term.
