D is for Depreciation<\/h2>\n

For many buyers, depreciation is a crucial consideration when deciding on the purchase of a vehicle. It\u2019s literally money falling out of your pockets and there\u2019s no way to recover it. It bothers people, and rightfully so, because a car is typically one of the most expensive purchases we\u2019ll ever make in a lifetime apart from a house.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

According to iSeeCars<\/a>, an average car loses about 50% of its value over 5 years and this was prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of 2023, the depreciation rate has fallen to 38.8%, which is still pretty terrible. One of the worst segments of cars for depreciation is electric vehicles, losing approximately half of their value. Ouch.<\/p>\n

Supercars aren\u2019t any different.<\/p>\n

Hagerty has also studied the depreciation of modern supercars<\/a> and highlights that all high-performance cars lose value over time, typically about 20% after three years. Ferrari models, such as the 488 Pista, tend to depreciate less than competitors like the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, which can lose up to 30% of their value.<\/p>\n

Factors influencing depreciation include market demand, hype at launch, and regional differences, with Italian brands generally faring better than German and British marques. They also noted that specifications such as power, technology, or \u201cspecialness\u201d<\/i>, as they put it, can\u2019t save a performance car from the abyss of depreciation.<\/p>\n
