I just accept depreciation as one of the costs of motoring and couldn't care less.
I decide how long I am likely to keep it and what I am likely to spend in depreciation on a second hand car to get the kind of cars I like (£100k+ new) and do that.
I am confident I have not spent as much as the previous owners.
As cars are a hobby for me, I can "deduct" the cost of running a typical car I'd normally have anyway.
The difference is then the hobby cost.
I enjoy the car every time I drive it and so for me it's no different to spending on any hobby.
I don't do tech, watches, drugs, alcohol, clothes, shoes, gambling / stock market, smoking, bling, jewels, multiple expensive holidays, designer anything etc.
My money, my choice in how I spend it!
