my FJ cruiser in 2008 - 30k sticker, 27k OTD TTL. 6 years later, has 70k miles and is worth nearly 20k.

Maybe should have bought or buy an FJ if you are worried about depreciation
lol! You aren't reading my posts. I'm only going to be "worried" until the car flips.

I'm not really worried so much as in shock. I didn't expect this car to drop like it did. Then again, I've come from cars that don't really drop in value all that much. Mustang cobras sold for $36k NEW and you can still find them selling for $25k-$30k. They are 10 year old cars with incredibly out of date technology.

I sold mine a year later for a profit. Mods and car were paid for.

Truthfully, it's just a new car. They drop A LOT by just driving them off the lot. This car has a 10 year plan, the car will be paid off in 4, so 6 years of no payments will allow me to get my money out of her. I should have waited a year or two, but I was impatient. Doesn't make the car any less fun, just a little more money out of my wallet.
