Depreciation without a term is a useless fucking metric but I guess it works for headlines
Are you looking for a rate, like money per day lost? It's depreciation, an incalculable loss of value which is another idea that has no objective basis. One person could value it while many others hate it and it doesn't change the thing itself. Value is fake. Hating on fake things is not worth your time.
40% depreciation on 1yo car is bad. For 3-5yo that's about right
Maybe you should read the article then before commenting since it calls out that the car has been on sale for 1.5 years.
I prefer to hash it out in the comments section tbh
Ty for the data point
