Drove the van a couple of years and put 20K miles on it. But M-B dealer service went terrible and I decided to get rid of the van. I traded it in for a 2022 MINI S and got $27,000 trade in allowance for the van. (The van was in excellent condition, not even scratched on the painted steel cargo floor.) $27K! Just what I paid for it two years prior. And in Arkansas the $27K trade in value lowered the amount of sales tax I would pay for the new MINI.
Same for me with pickups.

Vehicles that can and are used by people for their work hold their value extremely well.
