Do you think the value of a diesel Mercedes-Benz E-Class will drop significantly in a few years?

I'm worried the value of diesels will plummet, but can't find an affordable alternative. I'm considering a 2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class and feel I get a lot of car for the money, but I have no idea what it's value will be in a few years time when I sell it on. Any thoughts?

That's the primary Uber cab. Can be reliable, but not always so. I will not speculate on their future value, but reckon it will be low because non EU6 diesels will be heavily penalised for entering London so the cabbies will have to get out of them and there will be a glut.
