No it doesn't.

The car MSRP is approximately $26k. Not considering tax, title licesne that's a depreciation of roughly $8k over 3 years, less than $3k per year or ~11%.

Some people would KILL for depreciation like that. If you accept the numbers above at 3 years we are looking at 69% of the value is retained (only two months away from confirming that), that's absurdly good for a sports car.

And scraping the bottom of the barrel, there are cars out there that drop 30% in one year (although the timing of this article probably has an impact)

Call my numbers bogus, lets pretend it takes $30k to buy this thing and your down to $18k, you're still at 60% compared to the Camaro's 56% in the link above.

Maybe I'm crazy but the reality is it's not as bad as it could be and actually quite good if you're expectations are set conservatively.

I rather buy one with hail storm damage for $14-15k.

Good track car right there...

This helps me. So thank you for this. I'm ignorant, not stupid, and all too often people seem to think them the same thing. I suppose I didn't take into account the market factors. Again thank you.
