lol, I was looking at fun cars for my most recent purchase, and Audi E-Trons are available for 50% off if you buy them just a year old. Apparently they stabilize in price after that, but GOODNESS GRACIOUS that's a big dropoff in a single year. It was crazy to see Audi's newest top-of-the-line offering (not their RS offering, to be clear) for the same price as an entry-level BMW M.

I know this isn't black and white but if you're worried about depreciation you just shouldn't buy a new car.

A car you buy new and sell after a short amount of time or not many miles driven is going to cost you.
