Does nobody know how percentages work?

If you buy a car for $25,000, and within one year it is worth $13,500 then you have had 46% depreciation in a year.

If you buy a car for $20,000, and within one year it is worth $10,800 then you have had 46% depreciation in a year.

For big depreciation numbers, check out the more expensive vehicles. BMW 7 series is very good at depreciating, and I don't think that could drop 46% in a year.
