Will a spoiler affect the value of my Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
Can you advise if the rear boot spoiler I’ve fitted to my 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class will reduce the price offered on a trade-in or sale?

Depends on the size and style of the spoiler. If the dealer/buyer deems it to be undesirable then they will need to remove it and will factor the fees for this in the trade-in/sale value. Likewise, if the fitment of the spoiler has scratched or damaged the paintwork then this will also affect the trade-in price.

A big improvement on the previous C-Class. Feels well built and robust. Very comfortable and refined. High quality ride. Good CDI diesels.
