16% depreciation is completely misleading. Each 2.7 car needs 5 grand spending on it to give it any resale at all., so the new price is NOT the same as basic list.



Yes, i was wondering how they handle that.. I assume they are just giving the sale price and not stating the original price.

I am selling my 2001 986S at the moment, so have been looking at prices a lot. Taking 16% off the base 38k price of an S gives 32k, you wont find any 2002 S's going for anywhere near that, let alone 16% off what they actually paid (probably 43k)

I would say depreciation on a boxster is about 30-35% off the original price. Which is still very good. I think autocar's figure is 28% and it is just about their best figure.
