Just thinking about this and from what I can see in the classifieds with 3 yo 570s' surely depreciation of 40-50% on a 3 yo car is to be expected? So new 570s listed at 170k incl options 3 yrs ago seem to be priced between 90-100k now...that would appear to me to be an expected level of depreciation no? My Vantage listed at 160k in 2015 and I paid a little over half that for it last yr...seems standard enough. A certain YouTuber was moaning about his 720s when he revealed he'd taken a massive hit of £5k on it when he got out after 3 months or so in 2017...seriously. Maybe Ferrari and Porsche have shown much gentler curves given the silly environment we've been in but 50% down after 3 yrs seems fair enough to me.

In cash terms its a big hit from new to yr 3 but in % terms it seems standard enough, Aston are surely just as bad as Mclaren in the depreciation stakes. Of course if you're wealthy enough that dropping anything from 50-100k on a car in one yr makes no difference then more power to you at the end of the day without people buying these new cars they wouldn't be available at a nice discount to the rest of us after a few yrs.
