I watched your original video on just the AMG GT, and bought my 2016 GTS in 2020, precisely at the lowest point in its depreciation. After my purchase, Covid prices hit, and there was one point where I could've sold it for about $30K more than I paid, after adding roughly 8, 000 miles. 🤯 But, I wasn't done with my car yet, and kept it until a few months ago.

I ended up selling the car for $4K less than I paid for it... 4 years later, after putting another 34, 000 miles on it.


Thanks for your insight!

Bravo these vid are just getting better and better, now its not just value trends, but almost like buyers’ guide to know what are some great alternative cars of the same class and category. Fantastic

It's not surprising that Jaguar F-Type P450 RWD has only 8.5% depreciation, completely beating all other GT cars in this segment. This is not an anomaly of data, but rather a testament to the market's understanding of P450 RWD's value. There is no other "luxury" V8 rear-wheel drive GT sports car at $70K-$80K brand new, with 5 year warranty and 5 year free maintenance. The AJ133 V8 engine in the P450 is identical with the $115K F-Type R, with the primary difference being factory software tuning. Even the cooling system and the supercharger units are identical in the P450 and the R. Moreover, the R does not come with RWD, which means less butt shaking and less fun in public.

Furthermore, 10-year old F-Type V8 RWD S cost $45K~$55K for low mileage examples with no accident history. Therefore, the market understands that a $70K~$80K brand-new F-Type P450 RWD is heck of value today. This is why P450 RWD outperforms all other F-Type trims in depreciation analysis. The AWD version of P450 is heavier and less fun, so it is not as sought after as potential future collectibles. I predict that P450 RWD will invert the depreciation curve and go higher before the end of this decade, only to be followed by other F-Types in the future, and people who are conditioned to think otherwise about Jaguars will be surprised by the return of the E-Type-isque used car market for the F-Types.

My appreciation for your videos is increasing linearly with time :D

Based on the cars I’m looking at, the AMG GTR has fallen another ~$20k since this video was made. But I could be overlooking cars with clearly above market asking prices inflating the average.

[MrNufzed]

Great selection of cars for an update. Thank you.

[dBsdecibels]

I was just opining on this a few days ago, so good timing! It seems like GT cars tend to depreciate more than Sports cars. My guess as to why: The most desirable GT car qualities get worse with time (interiors make noises and wear with age, tech gets outdated, etc.) and better with newer models (better tech, more modern interiors, less road noise, etc.). Conversely, desirable sports car qualities get better as they age compared to newer models (more analog, fewer nannies, no particulate filters (EU), natural aspiration, etc.). Sure newer models are faster, but in all other respects they're worse.

Thus, I think sports cars tend to hold value better than GT cars.

How do you think the facelifted GR yaris will impact the current market of used Mk1 GR yaris?

[LawrenceMarkFearon]

I think the California is depreciating less because the Roma replacement is backsliding to cloth convertible roofs. Hardtop convertibles never need replacement, are more durable and provide the security of a coupe.

[MCVIncorp]

The algorithm got me! I've been looking at a few GT cars. 2017~2018+ Aston DB 11 (V12), Bentley Continental GT Speed (W12), and McLaren GT (open to 570GT or newer GT model)

[underrated_assets]

@fourwheeltrader Great analysis, thank you! It seems the F-Type Gen 1 v8 RWD (2015) below 40k miles has been flat or even slightly increasing over this past year, even into winter. Thoughts?

[clay_jay]

I recently bought a 2016 AMG GTS, fully spec’d out (160k brand new) with 20k miles, for $75k. I could be wrong, but I don’t seeing it depreciating much more. It is an incredible car. I plan on keeping it for a long time.

[Santoshlv]

Comprehensive video. good info. My car is on the list and it's ~ 10% so not bad. That said, my car is now 8 years old and pretty sure it's flattened in terms of depreciation. I expect all cars + 5 years should be relatively flate and won't see 5-10% year on year depreciation. Has this been accounted for or is continual depreciation something unique to the USA market on which the data is based ?

[stevecballard]

I like the analysis but convertibles tend to loose most in the winter months if you can look at some seasonality and also looking at the v12 ferraris have you any fuel price data to see if that has an impact please? keep up the good work

[nathanh]

Another great video. Do you think the F-Type SVR market has bottomed out or do you think it has some time to go yet?

[bogosian.]

Aston Martin V8 Vantage manuals specially for 4.7 are definitely higher in value when they rarely are for sale in the US, most GTs are manual and I think that's why they are trending higher than the Vantage S, also most Vantage S and majority of later 4.7 came with the sportshift which was the new tech back then I think causing the softer values.

[ethan]

Great video! Any thoughts on the value trend of 19-29 Vantage 4L after the new 2025 facelift come out?

[rdiamond]

Wise to combine these cars, I appreciate the overview. The inflation adjusted numbers show just how affordable these are becoming.

[jpsIV]

Do you think my 2018 LC 500 will just continue to drop or will it flatten out maybe in the 20s
