New cars will, without a doubt, depreciate more quickly in their first few years on the road than any other subsequent year. The most unfortunate fact of buying a new car is that you will almost always lose thousands of dollars in depreciation by the time you try to sell it again. The only way to beat it is to buy a used car, or, if you’re better off than the vast majority of Americans, try buying a desirable sports car like the Porsche 911, which won’t depreciate as quickly. Not all cars depreciate at the same rate, though.
