there discount on carsnew or used, represents devaluation of its value over time due to the drop in its price in the market. This is an important factor to consider when buying a used car. Typically, after four years, a vehicle has lost, on average, half of its original value.
But some models suffer from this depreciation more than others. A specialized American site iSeeCars studied the prices of more than one million used car sales between November 2022 and October 2023 and compiled a rating models that lose the most value after five years.
Not surprisingly, it is the most expensive models, especially luxury sedans, that lose the most value over time. At the top of the ranking of cars that have depreciated the most in five years, we find Maserati Quattroporte, with an average discount of 64.5%! The Italian sedan follows BMW 7 serieswith a wear of 61.8%, then Maserati Ghibliwith an average discount of 61.3%, as well as BMW 5 series hybrid, with a discount of 58.8%. SUVs were not left out, as Cadillac Escalade which has lost 58.5% of its value in five years, or BMW X5 at wear 58.2%.
On the other side of the ranking, we find good students: Porsche 911 is the one showing the lowest discount rate after 5 years, with 9.3% depreciation, followed by Porsche 718 Cayman with wear and tear of 17.6%. A very popular pick-up truck in the American market Toyota Tacoma and Jeep Wrangler also have a fairly low discount rate, 20.4% and 20.8%, respectively.
