Annual Depreciation is an estimation of what your vehicle's value might be over time based on an average of similar vehicles. Estimations are calculated by comparing Kelley Blue Book Private Party Values of vehicles similar to yours over time, as well as forecasts from Manheim Auction data comparing current and projected auction values against current Kelley Blue Book Private Party and Trade-In Values. This is not a guarantee of actual depreciation. Local weather conditions, market factors and driver performance will also impact your vehicle's actual depreciation.

KBB.com Review
If you love the idea of open-air driving but are concerned about the long-term reliability and security provided by a canvas soft-top, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK might be the answer to your automotive dreams. The SLK’s retractable hardtop will last the life of the car, can’t be cut open and operates with just the touch of a button.
Tall folks may find legroom a little tight, especially on the passenger side where the firewall can cramp big shoes. Though the price is reasonable for the make, there are now much less expensive hardtop convertibles on the market, such as the Pontiac G6, Mazda MX-5 Miata and Volkswagen Eos.
