The average depreciation rate for front-engine GTs sits at minus 9.3%. It is quite obvious that you need to buy one of the older V12 Ferraris to avoid much of this elevated rate. Alternatives include the California, the V8 vantage, and the AMG GT. On the other end we find the Jaguar F-Types, Californias, and the Nissan Z. Current depreciation rates for these cars are higher than the average.

*What car would you like to see analysed next?*

[@Ossi1979]

Would be interesting to see BMW Z4 M40i. Its relatively new model however (2019 onwards) so not expecting any surprises on the depreciation, might be slowing with the early ones though

[@fourwheeltrader]

@@Ossi1979 Good shout, I will look into adding the Z4.

[@Bryan-zc9cu]

Lotus Exige and Lotus Elise. We need an update.

[@esordol]

@@fourwheeltrader z4 and supra same video might fill out enough data points? could also throw in m2 and just do an overall bmw coupe video.

[@markaromero12]

Lexus Is 500 , 991.1 911

[@bbkandsons]

Terrific video as usual. The LC500 is indeed a winner. I owned one. Cheap running costs and low depreciation overall.

[@matnoisy9703]

Aston DBS manual gear (2008 to 2012 modelos) is becoming a collector and I see prices growing month over month … Thanks for your great video

[@YouGrowIGrow]

Thank you so much for doing the 599! I am in the market for one so this was so valuable for me, blessings

[@michaelsturm6213]

Thanks for discussing the 575m!

[@guybriguglio6385]

Great work ! thanks so much for including the older ( First gen ? V12 Ferraris from 550 ) Ferrari models.Quite fascinating to see that it can take 20 to 25 years to start to see the values hold or start to slowly appreciate.Possibly Ferrari builds too many cars now to ever see their values hold ?

[@TomSkok-d7d]

Can you include the Portofino and M. You seem to skip over these models. Thanks alway enjoy you breakdown

[@actionarslan]

Let’s go back to a video a week! And you are right, I’d love to see a whole video on Bentley continental

[@silversleeper484]

Fourwheel Trader Can you please do an update on the V12 GTC4 Lusso . I saw the one you did 3 yrs ago, but would really get an Idea of how much it went down or up in price since you did the last video. U.S. Market Please. Thank-you for all of your hard work you put into make all of your videos. There are currently 18 GTC4 Lussos for sale on the Official USA Ferrari Website. Lowest is $195,500 to $309,000 also most of them a Ferrari Approved.

[@fourwheeltrader]

The latest one is 8 months old: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ-wo52ZaL-Aiqcsi=Bjg52CEpaOyEkgvy Unfortunately still not super recent, but better than 3years old :)

[@silversleeper484]

@@fourwheeltrader OK, cool thanks for the link ;)

[@BDortmund1]

Can’t wait for your follow up video on the gt3 now that the 992.2 is available with a 40k increase and how that will affect 992.1

[@jfkayne]

F12 for the win 🙌

[@dlj1285]

Anybody focusing on depreciation associated with cars like these for mere mortals, you probably should just keep your money in your account. People like this miss the whole point of adding cars like this to one’s life. For average normal people no cars are a good place to put your money if your focus is on the financial side over enjoyment. Simple as that. Or one could just realize that they will be dead soon and enjoy their money being put to work in a dream car purchase. You know, rather than being the richest dead guy in the cemetery. People are hilarious. They all depreciate badly, just at slightly different rates. Unless you are absolutely loaded and can afford entry into the market of cars that are truly investments, worrying about depreciation on most cars is an exercise in futility. Appreciating cars is not reality for most of us.

[@rdiamond655]

Excellent and insightful analysis, thank you.

[@klausnielsen7102]

When you buy an LC where I live it’s come with a 10 year warranty ! Depreciation is to a large extent you using up the cost less experience of your car. The running cost and service is also very low compared to Ferrari, Porsche and Aston’s out of warranty.

[@-ZIO]

Awesome info :) Thank you!

[@CR71243]

F12 all day every day 💪❤️

[@franzhuber7361]

Verdict: avoid low price cars and buy the real premium models

[@Mike-sg9tl]

It would be good to know how the Maserati Granturismo and GTC4 Lusso are doing at the moment.

[@silversleeper484]

@mike. I am also very Curious about the GTC4 Lusso V12 Pricing. I am in looking in the U.S. Market. Which Market will you be shopping in?

[@Mike-sg9tl]

UK market if possible please. Curiosity as an owner, albeit I don't intend to sell anytime soon!

[@kh.1756]

Will the Roma depreciate more or good time to buy?

[@Glueck-Auf-Traveller]

Dear Fourwheel Trader, I please need your opinion about future depreciation of a 991.1 X51 WLS (power kit) Cabrio? What do you think in general about the value of X51 Power Kits in 991 S models? Kind regards Franz from Germany 🇩🇪 😊

[@nelsondasilva6939]

How about F612 values? I don’t recall you ever analyzing it…

[@a004]

Can you make an updated video on Mid-engine Ferraris? 360 vs 430 vs 458 vs 488. Thanks

[@fourwheeltrader]

Certainly, i update it every three months

[@沛登樊]

Hello, can you include other astons in the video next time?

[@GHSwillebroek]

What about the new ferrari 12 cilindri, worth the buy?

[@MKolby8085]

I’m assuming by now that there is not enough data on 612 Scaglietti 😊

[@Sire638]

I feel great I got 10% off MSRP on my Z just had to wait almost 2 years lol

[@Hairyderriere]

What's the reason for the Roma's poor residuals?

[@Santoshlv426]

I'm not sure about the Nissan, but the Jaguar is not a GT, it's a strict sports car and one of the least practical from the list. It no doubt is a factor for those considering a GT. The Jaguar XK is a GT and both are very different machines. The Nissan is a bit outclassed in this list though. This only matters if one intends to sell. Otherwise, just buy what one wants and enjoy it !

[@Rachel-Leh]

Please do the Ferrari 488

[@paulcole]

But the car you want and don’t worry about resale If it’s truly what you wanted you’ll never sell it, just add another …..and a another etc etc

[@Lazer-yi6qg]

Older gen f type R and SVR will go up in value and have reached the bottom of their depreciation curve

[@eduardgarciafreixa7542]

Would you buy a Roma nowadays? Oct24

[@mondragonmsaul308]

I’d say right now the z is a buy especially if you can find one for 37k and I can see 3 near me for sale

[@janpakx]

please make a video for amg gtr and mclaren 720s

[@fourwheeltrader]

The 720s is included in the mid engine market update. The AMG GT R is included in the altest AMG GT market update, but that one is 1 year old unfortunately.

[@salami99]

here in the US, the nissan z has become a small meme for losing 70% percent value at purchase. poor car doesn't have a shot in hell

[@3089280288]

Then it should be a good used car deal.

[@muffinman4353]

The car's a piece of junk....

[@nickmoucha3762]

Bentley Continental GT? This one didn't make the list?

[@MarchedYeti96]

around 80k would you take an amg gt, newer m4, or 911?

[@terminatedphil]

911

[@salami99]

amg gt then 911(value)

[@WFO.]

Porsche. There is no substitute.

[@lo-weihuang8300]

You can only get 991 911 for that price if you are ok with that

[@Kylefinley]

amg gt ...need a market update

[@fourwheeltrader]

It's included in this video
