Some yes, Koreans especially. The rest is arguable, and even if the depreciation percentage is the same off the original MSRP, it will equal to a much smaller figure in actual dollars.
Cars with “SERIOUS” problems get recalled, everything else is owners wear and tear as well as abuse.
Luxury means more. More of everything. More means more shit to break, especially once they get older. Car will depreciate, cost replacement parts will not…
Luxury loses it’s value as it gets older because nobody who can afford to live in luxury wants old luxury, so they will sell it cheap because they can’t afford to be seen in dated cars. So any new car has 3 to 5 years to impress people with it’s “status” that’s about it.
Audi is “new money” car or a preppy car.
Bmw is a luxury car for a performance oriented person.
Infinity/Lexus is for older business man who don’t care about performance or what they are going to be seen it, but still want a nice car.
Any questions?
