If you purchase a used Mercedes-Benz G-Class that is 2 years old, then you could save $23,794 compared to buying new, and still have a relatively new model with plenty of useful life remaining. If you plan to keep this vehicle for 3 years then your total cost of depreciation would be $55,291. Try other age and ownership length combinations, or different vehicles to see if you can find depreciation sweetspots where this cost is the lowest.

Also, if this is a recently released model and buying a few years old isn't possible, consider another vehicle, or perhaps wait until more used G-Class models become available.
