I have had my sweet little ride since the first of the year. My depreciation to date undoubtably would average over $1000 a month. This is right in line with what I would have predicted. Seems to me to be right in line with the early depreciation rates of my last few new cars. No major surprise here so I do not feel your pain either. If I was thinking investments I would not be thinking of new cars. If I was thinking of getting a good looking, nice, reasonably priced, personal sized, sport coupe I guess I did the right thing.
