cars are meant to be used....and surely while I agree that taking the hit is not a nice thing, its part of the game of owning what is considered luxury items. mainly I believe because most folks who are in the market for the high end, usually don't go for used and the second in line take advantage of that.

I agree with whoops that the best strategy is to spread the depreciation over years and miles.

If I loose a 100 after a year I would rather loose 140 after 4 or 5  years
