Wow.

Do you guys think there is any truth to this?
Discuss.

That's not so great.

Red370 · 03-20-2010, 11:49 PM

BS.

jstevenson · 03-21-2010, 12:25 AM

Yeah no way, not enough of these sold for that to happen.

Guessing it would be 70-75% after one year at worst. 56% is way, way low.

i assumed that the 56% was 2 years after it was sold, so that would be a 2011 price for a 2009 Z.

Agreed

Worth $16k at 2 years? That's on the extreme side. I'd expect more around 20k.

carlos3366 · 03-21-2010, 10:46 AM

i'll be buying mine in year #3! 47% off, i can digg that.

antman22 · 03-21-2010, 11:45 AM

i think this is prevalent for sports cars. sports cars are usually driven hard, so i think that takes away from the value of the car.

Is that what any car owner wants to see? no. not much we can do about it though, except keep your car in tip top shape and hope for the best when its that time for you to trade it in/sell.

I don't think this is a realistic projection.

.....But a good one for the leasing companies that basically set their rates on Depreciation. They'll make a profit on the back end using those numbers..

LinPark · 03-21-2010, 01:23 PM

Maybe those numbers are just for the few 2009's that actually sold - the rest of them are still sitting on the dealer lots brand new.

kbb means nothing.. atleast on the east coast kbb is always thousands off. Sometimes kbb is very low sometimes they are very high. Ive seen kbb state a car as being worth 5,000 but are easily selling for 8 or 9,000 at auctions.

ZForce · 03-21-2010, 01:57 PM

Not good, if it's true.

shadow2k · 03-21-2010, 02:45 PM

The lowest price online that I see for a 2008 350z is 17k. Majority of them are still around 20k, and we're talking about a car that got a lot of major upgrades the following year.

Not that it matters to me at all other than less money I'll have to pay to register/insure it, but this chart looks a wee bit off to me.
