If you are in the market for a luxury vehicle, there is some good news on the horizon: these cars might become more budget-friendly later this spring or summer. While none of these automobiles will be cheap, per se, there are some economic signs pointing to a reduction in price for many of the most sought after high-end rides.
“Due to the state of the used EV market, changes in consumer sentiment and other industry-wide drivers, these luxury vehicles will likely see some of the most significant drops in value by the spring of 2025,” explained Joe Giranda, director of sales and marketing for CFR Classic.
These are the five luxury cars that will likely have massive price drops in spring this year.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Mercedes-Benz S-Class will struggle to retain its value as it faces increasing competition from rivals like the BMW i7 and Lucid Air, according to Giranda.
“The aging tech in the current generation may further drive depreciation as those models match or exceed its luxury appeal,” Giranda said.
On top of that, Giranda went on to say that with prices of used EVs falling dramatically, the S-Class’s hybrid or gas-powered trims face added competition, mainly if premium used EVs become more accessible.
Porsche Taycan
“The Taycan is already depreciating significantly and its value could drop further,” Giranda said. “New reports state that its resale value has crashed by 26.5% in the past year, sitting at approximately $73,976.”
In Giranda’s professional opinion this is due to EV battery technology advancing far too quickly, along with an abundance of newer electric models flooding the market.
“For those seeking range as well as cost efficiency, newer models will replace older Taycans, potentially pressuring dealers to offer discounts to move out inventory,” Giranda added.
Tesla Model S
Giranda pointed out that the price of a used Tesla Model S has fallen by 13.6% in 2024. The reason is due, in part, to continuous price cuts put forth by Tesla, an aging design of the vehicle and stiffer competition.
“The Model S underscores how oversupply, stiffer competition and evolving buyer preferences in the luxury EV space are diminishing its allure,” Giranda said. “Tesla’s aggressive marketing of cheaper, more advanced models aggravates the situation.”
BMW 5 Series
According to Giranda, used hybrid trims are already depreciating, showing how luxury buyers might have shifted to more electric substitutes.
“The enthusiasm surrounding the 2025 refresh of the 5 Series, paired with the production of available units, is expected to hamper the attractiveness of this model in the used market,” Giranda explained. “This shift has the potential to lower the resale value of older versions of this luxury sedan.”
Maserati Levante
“Broader market trends toward affordable electric options are likely to force dealerships to offer steep discounts and financing incentives to sell out this model,” Giranda said, drawing similarities to the Tesla Model S.
