sl63amg depreciation

[nick.ged]

according to google the Depreciation after one year of an sl63 amg is:

£60,698

Proportion of original cost: 40%
If only AMGs performed as well in resale values as they do on road and track... Losing over £60K in a year is a huge amount of money burned but all the more shocking when you realise that's 40% of the hot SL's value lost in just a year. Ouch.
Roadtest: Mercedes SL63 AMG

Ouch ...

 

[scumbag]

is 40% much different to other cars?

One assumes if you have spent 3 years scraping together £10k for a fiest, you might be a bit upset to find it only worth around £6500 after a year too.

£60k is a lot of money. but then, how much did they pay for it?

It's all relative.

The Maybachs are worse, with 43-44% lost in 1st year.

Current best is the Volvo XC60 - 8% lost in 1st year. Audi Q5 next at 9%.

Can I just have the £60k if nobody wants it.

I would have thought a Morgan would better that.

Possibly, but I doubt they sell enough per year to appear in the published figures.

I am looking for depreciation figures at the mo, apart from What car, where else can you get them from ?

Bottom line is that the people who buy SL63's and the like don't give a moneys about depreciation so no worries.
