Generally cars in this segment don't age well to begin with. For example a new BMW 750i will cost you $100k+. A used 2009 750i with only 60k miles though? $30k.

But the people who buy them don't care. They'll just buy whatever the new thing is.
- hugh4 11y agoMeanwhile the people who buy 2009 7-series for $30K get a ridiculously nice car for the price of a Camry... but they pay maintenance costs which are a lot higher than the Camry driver's. There's a reason not everyone is buying cheap used luxury cars.
- kllrnohj 11y agoAbsolutely, I certainly wouldn't recommend it. But the maintaince aspect is yet another argument in favor of my point, which is that people dropping over $100k on a car typically don't care if it holds value. It's irrelevant if the i8 is still cool in 5 years to the people that can afford an i8.
