Depreciation is a topic that frightens most car buyers. It’s a phrase to be muttered under your breath in hopes it doesn’t hear its mention, then come hunting for your car. Even so, depreciation is an inevitable fact of car ownership that can vary depending on your model’s desirability, reliability, practicality, and many other reasons. Every car loses value eventually — unless, of course, you happen to be wealthy enough to afford limited-production exotics that are bound to live out their lives in a garage, only to disconnect from their battery tenders to see a golf course once a year.
