Yes agreed , best second value are fully utilise to the fullest till need parts replacement always . Pity for those buying over values good second hand value cars, in another words if prices of that are too high better get a new one with warranty instead. Stay away from used high second hand value cars as it do not good in ownership .
Only financial idiots think like this, a 100k$ mercedes still has the same $100k worth of parts when you buy it cheap. Thats why you will lose your money when you repair it which you will
It depends on what defines a good car on sale. If you only cares about price then the used FCA products will always be best. But people don't buy FCA or Land Rover Jaguar junks for a reason.

When I bought my Fiat Bravo new in 2007 ppl told me "you are crazy, yeah its cheaper than a golf or octavia but it depriciates so fast"... Well here we are, almost 14 years later and car is still running no problem and I feel no need to change it, so who cares! I mean, everyone leases cars to not lose on depriciation and think they are clever, but the best is not to change cars like they are socks. If its fine, keep it. No rust, 7 airbags, comfy... Why do I need a new car again after only 14 years?
What we have learned from this video is "buy used cars" Edit: Thanks to everyone who has engaged into this comment. I have never had so much attention. Thanks
Most people ‘buy’ on finance and only really care about monthly payments, at least in the UK. Brand new cars are often cheaper per month than second hand cars when ‘brought’ like this because of manufacturer incentives. They don’t care about depreciation because they hand the car back after the end of the finance term (typically 2-4yrs).
PLUS, this is depreciation from list price. Many of these cars will be heavily discounted from new, which this analysis doesn’t take into consideration. I ran an analysis before buying my Golf, which is supposed to hold onto its value. You know what, the VW dealers weren’t discounting as much as Ford and Vauxhall dealers, for the Focus and Astra. All things told, if you included the discount the Ford and Vauxhall dealers were offering, all of them had very similar depreciation, percentage wise after 3 yrs.
Well, it depends on many factors. I don't trust at 100% who is selling me an used car, there's always that probability the car has been manipulated and it has more miles/km that it seems or unmentioned problems. A brand new car is always safe no matter what
S2000. They cost more nowadays 20 years old, than when they were brand new. It's ridiculously difficult to even find good condition ones as their owners are unwilling to part.
Carwow: Here's a list of how much new cars depreciate! Also Carwow: Why don't you click the top right hand banner to see which new car you could buy today?!
In my experience usually the high end versions of certain cars lose just very little in value. For example a Golf R or a Audi RS3. The prices are really strong since years. Or cars like the Mercedes CLA is still really high up there. Even after 3 years of ownership you don't really lose much money.
True - some of the best cars I ever had was used. Peugeot 407 coupe, paid R90K used vs R350k new. 2015 Astra sedan, paid R170k vs R285K new. Buying used
Here in Iowa I've seen in the market a few Mercedes S550's that depreciated over $100,000 of their original price. And people won't buy them at less than 1/10th of the original price because of the possible repair costs.
You don't want to own one. With such a bad reliability it either goes up in flames, which is not uncommon for McLaren or you're bankrupt after a week. As any sensible person would suggest: Buy a Porsche 911
He misled us with his info, it wasnt very well thought out this video. Hes trying to make it look like tou can go buy the cars mentioned at those prices which simply isnt true. Pretty poor from a car selling channel. He should get told off from his ‘ trusted dealers’
I bought a 2013 Audi S4 just over a year ago and paid about 27% of what it would have cost when it was new. It's pretty nicely spec'd out too and only had 37,000km on the clock. Buying new cars is kinda silly unless you're loaded.
I dont know why people like yourself complain about buying new cars....if nobody buys em how u gonna get em used. Just be quiet and buy ur used car.....smfh
i guess majority of the cars are being purchased to write off income tax or VAT. Having a high end car like a8 or s class for 1/4 price just after 3 years is amazing deal.
Yeah, seriously. I've been watching the market for a while and I wanna buy a car around 30k EUR. My options are: - brand new Focus ST or i30N - 3-year old M140, or S3, or A45. And that's with putting a few grand aside for eventual repairs. It's not even freaking debatable.
@@ACURACALABAR11 Haha, you make assumptions and then act on them. I’m well aware that used cars only exist because people buy new cars... Do you think I’m some kind of retard?
Maseratis should have no resale value as they should not be resold. Although I'm curious who actually buys them as they are notoriously unreliable, which really makes me wonder why the A8 looses more value.
This is a good indicator of what cars to consider buying at 3 years old. However it’s pretty optimistic to think that you can pick up cars at the trade in values mentioned in the video. If you are lucky, after fees you will end up paying a few percentage points above the retail price at a trade auction (if you can even get into one these days). Plus you will have to pay cash or via bank transfer after the auction.
Could you add the depreciation rates when getting quotes on Carwow? It’s just as important to know future values as it is to know the best purchase price
My moms 2017 Volvo XC90 Inscription Pro has lost about £50,000 over three years! It’s shocking how such a brilliant car loses its value, they are safe, luxurious and very reliable!
Great review and excellent info and research for me. Looking to buy a 3 year old car and this review has helped to reduce my list down and of course cost to buy a car that has lost its value for a huge bargain!
This is actually bunkum. I had this argument with a "past" Senior Editor at CAP when they were based in Skipton North Yorks. You try to buy a 3 years old whatever with a recorded 24k miles ....rare as Hen's Teeth.... so the solution is that you do not sell to the Motor trade who are in a nutshell simply "latter day Horse traders" The Senior editor agreed with me that that such a car would fetch a premium on the figures quoted in the Black Book !
Right.I'd really like to know who would sell you a hitech ultra-reliable 2019 Lexus LS 500 for 62% off the MSRP with just 24,000 miles on the odometer.
All these will be great value at 2 to 3 years old when most of the depreciation will be done. 4k for a Fiat Tipo 2017 or 30k for a 2017 Maserati, 7k for an astra or 27k for an A8. Seem like good deals.
Wow! I want to congratulate carwow on 5mil subs! Amazing, they deserve it... I remember being here since 1.89mil subs and being here now must be such a milestone for them!
Have you calculated the depreciation with respect to official price or actual final price? Because it might make a huge difference and might distort some results
I bought a 2006 Suzuki Ignis 4x4 in 2013 in cost me £3350, with 31K on the clock. Sold it June 2020 for £1250 with 78K, within 24 hrs of advertising it. Very basic car with agricultural handling but I loved driving it, 100 % reliability. Not bad then. Have a Vitara now, brilliant car. Suzuki are very underated, don't loose as much as premium brands, very reliable.
Once these cars come out of warranty the servicing and repair costs are the direct responsibility of the new owner. Garage costs in the U.K. are astronomical, so the (relatively) low purchase price of these at 3 years old reflects the risk and uncertainty of ownership. More and more people are going for fixed-cost leasing which gives peace of mind and the allows for precise budgeting. Buying one of these second hand in the U.K. is a very risky business - you would be unable to sleep at night for the fear of the size of the garage bill if a dashboard warning light came on for example.
I‘ve once rented a Ford S-Max with a tiny 1.5 turbo engine and manual gearbox. Driving in mountanious southern France and northen Italy is absolutely a torture, not for the driver but for the clutch. After climbing some very steep streets it would take quite a while for the burning smell of clutch to dissipate.
@Do One that doesn't make sense. People rent cars so that they don't become skint and can invest their money in something which isn't depreciating like a car
Of course, because it's something you use. The only cars that significantly appreciate are limited Production Hypercars and Supercars that usually collect lots of dust. People who buy a car with its resale value as a major concern have really strange priorities. Its like asking yourself how much your bottle of wine is worth after you drank all of it.
@@bencocker7487 Yeah, but renting is financially worse than buying and keeping it for longer period of time. Consumptionism drive those rental companies...
@@mattbite I suppose once a car reaches a value of £300 then it doesn't owe you anything. Apart from it'll cost £300 a month to maintain and you'll be driving a shit box
@@bencocker7487 In mathematical sense - yes. But shitboxes has unorthodox ability to resist scraping. In true words: renting is costing you more than montly depreciation and service, that's why its more profitable in general sense.
From Fraser, husband of Leslie Depreciation is the biggest cost of motoring but most people are unaware of it, probably because most people buy USED cars, and hence benefit from this. I bought a 2017 Jaguar XE in Jan 2019 on 10k miles and full 2 year warranty but paid half the price of a new one. Just remember this - the motor trade never buy new cars !
In South Africa you can buy a Land Cruiser V8 pick up, drive it for a year (20,000km/12,500miles) and sell it for the exactly the same price. My friend did so in November. People are lining up for them.
My V90 Cross Country: £51,000 list price 2 years ago. It was returned to the lease company, I watched it on the BCA Auction sell for £18,200 (and then went for sale at a Volvo dealer for £22,000). 64% lost in two years trumps everything on this list. According to the finance documents, it cost the lease company £36,000 to buy it, so the real depreciation was £17,800... but I only paid £8,000 to lease it, so they still lost almost £10,000. Ouch.
All my 90s Hondas are appreciating like crazy ! Just bought them at their lowest value and the B and D series engines fitted and coupes and hatches are in great demand . 500 bhp out of a B18 VTec with reliability and good manners no problem !
This explains why my last two cars were used Volvos. The price drops like a rock from new, but it's actually a great buy, a few years old with low mileage.
The bigger issues are; is servicing expensive after 3 yrs, are parts cheap and or relatively available, are there lots of non-dealer mechanics (tends to be more useful in premium brands) and did the brand sell enough that you can find goid used parts. Also the best cars are often the premium makes as more money as invested in parts vs penny pinching is standard brands. I'd consider the lexus and volvo but wonder if the hybrid engines were worth it. Most of the premium cars tend to do small mileages even the A8/BMW7.
Cars are a depreciating asset . And it would decrease when you’re going to sell. It’s not a plot where you’ll get in return. So, I would say that go for a car which suits ur budget or get what you love to drive. Majority of owners would drive their cars to a certain time where they’ve loose what they’ve spend on when getting a new one. So, if you’re wanting a good return when selling. Make sure your car’s condition is top notch and polished exterior/interior to get a good offer! BTW Happy New Year, may this year be full of joy, happiness, health & wealth! Have a prosperous year ahead!
Great Service to upcoming new car buyers! Would be awesome if you made the same review of Cars in the US. I’d bet your subscriber base would grow nicely!! Have a Happy New Year.
Obviously of course Maserati’s depreciate like shit they are beyond unreliable overpriced and their models are unoriginal/boring. Oh and their finance deals are the height of madness I looked at one of their finance deals once for a Ghibli and I nearly coughed up a lung the numbers they were quoting were utter insanity even if they were willing to move prices were fucking madness.
@@GianzSSD Yeah but you are Italian by the sounds of it and most Italians have such big egos over their car manufacturers it distorts all logic and reason for you guys.
@@GianzSSD how can you even compare these brands, Maserati has to be one of the worst car brands in existence right now, like every time a see a modern Maserati I just think "ewww", that guy made a huge mistake and is completely tasteless.
Never seen one in my life, its utter crap hes coming out with same as £4k Tipo. Only category classed cars and even then thats pushing it. Defintely not as he describes 24k miles 3 years old cars.
I think it's important to say that this is the value dealers will offer for straight buy but you can get more by selling privately or as a trade in against a new car.
@@abedalqaderhalaweh7185 dose lexus rung a bell? Toyotas premium line? Its onthe list 😁 also jut becouse toyotas dosent make the top 25 it dosent mean they keep thier value. And as you may have seen defferences are small in terms of !%! (Not in €/$/£ a more expensive car is going to lose more obviously) so just becouse toyotas keep more of thier value it dosent mean they are “laughing”, it translates to 1/2 or maybe 3% wich means a few thousand in money, wich is better of course, but certanly not superior or in another league. I like toyotas they are pretty reliable (just like other cars if you visit the mechanic in the reccomanded time frame) but i rather spend my time in a german car with 240-310hp (not performance model) than in a 150 avensis... yes my dear hp comes at a cost, manufacturers have to fit expensive new technologys to the cars to make it as strong as it is and also meet the strict co requiremants etc.... and those parts usually break, but thats in the service manual that you have to change it! But people ignore it becouse they “spend all thier money on a monkey but have no money left for bananas” and when the part fails, its usually the manufacturers fault becouse “why cant they make a car with 200+hp and without these parts” and the answer is emmission laws. And then they swear they never going to buy another german car, but when they ralize those raliable cars are 116-150 hp and they are reliable becouse they are as simple as a wodden doorknob they buy a german car again. Its the circle of life 😃. Thats why you can chose an amazing amount of 1 or maybe 2 engines in a japanese car becouse thier engines dosent meet eu laws, and those cars that do with a decent amount of hp (lexus) are just as unreliable as any other. But i rather say they just require more maintanace🙂 maybe just maybe, thats why the new supra is a toyota branded bmw z4, becouse toyota dosent have an engine with high enugh power that can be sold in the eu😃 its logic.... i know i know you are going to come at me with the “150 hp is more than enugh” and yes it is, for you, for me? Its not even close, i am working with my car, doing lots of highway trips, i need to be fast and i need good economy, wich means a german 3.0 liter diesel best performance/economy for the €... if i where to be everywhere my bosses want me to be and i was to drive a 150hp avensis i would have been fired for a long time now. Belive me i tried a 2.0 diesel not even 170hp is enugh. Also other people have different driving styles, i for instance do not fallow a truck on the highway with a 100kph for better fuel economy, not everyone is a cheapshot. Also to be honest toyota is not laughing at all becouse like it or not electric is the future, we have a few more years with combustion engines left, and toyotas full electric cars are light years behind everyone, and also with electric cars the “we are making cheap reliable cars with 50 years old technology so we can keep them low cost/reliable” is not going to work and they know this.😃 becouse the best selling point of toyota (reliablity) is not really a big consern with electric cars, no combustion engines, less parts etc... 🙂 so i hope i was able to dispell your confusion about toyotas. My comment was a joke btw, i love every car for different reason, and i do not argue about preferances😃 just becouse you think i am a fool becouse i buy these german cars, and i could save more money with a toyota dosent actually make me a fool😃 leave managing my money to my account manager. Also cars (for some of us) are not just a tool to get us and the family from A to B. I keep a 3.0 liter petrol coupe for a weekend car, wich i do enjoy driving etc, and. 3.0 diesel for work. And i dont give a flying f#@k about how its more costly than a toyota becouse i dont know how much time i have left (a bus can ran me over tomorrow... who know?) so i would rather spend my day how i want to, not like how you want me to, especially not in a toyota of any sort. Thank you
@@abedalqaderhalaweh7185 ohh i saw your other comments, i may have struck a nerve with lexus. But keep that in mind that confusing your preferances with reality, and various youtube videos and forum topics with the opinion actual mechanics dose not make a car better or more reliable.👍🏻 its a fine car btw, looks are up to taste, and gentlemans dosent argue about taste! and i think the touchpad is a but confusing but its a great car! But certainly nit the shining role modell of reliablity.
@@dailyrant4068 the cars are not even in the same “league”, one is a premium product with higher than average power output and millions of extra features aimed at people who dosent mind spending 80.000€ on a car and who dosent mind !!!DOING!!! the reccomanded service in time (wich is really costly).... and those reliable cars they always talk about are usually family cars starting as low as 20.000€ with a 150hp and all the latest texh (bluetooth, maybe a touchscreen, heated seats) but thats pretty mich it, you might be able to get nice leather seats or a black headliner or maybe a +2 speaker “audio system” but thats the end!!! The cars usually have a 2.0 liter engine at best, they very in power but 99.9% is about 116-150 hp with a few exceptions like mazda having a 2.2 d and around 170-200hp but thats the top of the line version wich is 1. not that cheap to begin with 2. ordering a japanese car to the eu as costumized (they do send out cars wich you can see or buy at the dealers but those are speced by the factory or the dealer if you want anything else you need to order) and its a nightmare they are going to take at least half a year to arrive for a relased car becouse i am not talking about pre orders! Also they are not aganist each other, they serve diff. markets, a guy who is able to spend 80.000€ on an audi/bmw/mercedes and wants and likes luxuary/performance and also can afford maintanance is not going to buy a 4 cylinder mazda with 130 hp becouse its cheaper! -and as i have mentioned above those cars that are in the same league as these luxuary sedans are just as costly to keep up as other! And that bring us to my 2. point wich is those luxuary sedans japanese make are actually more expensive to maintain properly/fix becouse in the eu we have 0 aftermarket parts for them! only factory wich is €€€ territory! And when i say aftermarket i dont mean cheap stuff from ebay but reputable brands (For example Bosch or Hella) making !!!OEM!!! parts that are 100% factory quality if not better and a good couple hunderds € less than the “original” from the factory (in case of a really expensive part like a particle filter) keep in mind that examples are random i do know that hella for exmaple dosent make particle filters! My brothers best fried is a mechanics, and he has hes own shop, a big one, he owned a lexus, it was a fine car he wanted to fit coilowers to make it lower. He could only order from japan becouse european brands like bilsten etc dosent make any for lexus and the taxes would almost 3X the price, so good quality but not that great coilover set wich would cost around 750€ from bilstein becouse it wasnt the top of the line thing would have costed well above 3000€ for an average coilover made in japan😂 thats not worth it! Sidestory he managed to find a “fool” in a eu county who ordered it in and now was selling it at a “reasonable” price and it was still above a 1000€ taxes and everything included and that s/#t was USED 😂 All i am saying is every car has a “drawback” and everybody needs to decide what they can live with or can pay for. I just dont like when people “jump on the bandwagon” (well sad by fellow commenter) becouse the bad reputation of the german luxuary sedans comes from secound hand owners 99% of the time, the guy who, if he has 20.000€ for a car is going to buy a car for exactly 20.000€ and going to spend 2 whole seasons on the same worn out summer tires, the guy who only take it to the mechanics when vehicle inspection is due, the guy who thinks he can buy a fine tuned petrol engine with over 300hp and only needs to change oil every 20.000km, and those who literly think an engine should just run without any maintanace or changing the oil in the gearbox if its automatic etc etc etc. Main point is that every car has an upkeep cost, and the finer cars usually have more. Now there have been mistakes with german brands like bmw diesels catching on fire but those cars are recalled, fixed for free, and every other manufacturer doe that, mazda recalls some from time to time and EVERY SINGLE brand made a mistake at one point, and we cant german cars unreliable becouse one manufacturer made a mistake with !!!1!!! car/engine from thier usually 15 car lineup😃

They’re all awaiting repairs.
They hold their value well in the UK. Still a lot of demand for relatively new ones
In my experience usually the high end versions of certain cars lose just very little in value. For example a Golf R or a Audi RS3. The prices are really strong since years. Or cars like the Mercedes CLA is still really high up there. Even after 3 years of ownership you don't really lose much money.
True - some of the best cars I ever had was used. Peugeot 407 coupe, paid R90K used vs R350k new. 2015 Astra sedan, paid R170k vs R285K new. Buying used

Here in Iowa I've seen in the market a few Mercedes S550's that depreciated over $100,000 of their original price. And people won't buy them at less than 1/10th of the original price because of the possible repair costs.

@@Balloonychoonz444 yeah I guess it's misleading but you can still get them for a lot cheaper than other competitors.
Those are trade buy in prices not retail.
I bought a 2013 Audi S4 just over a year ago and paid about 27% of what it would have cost when it was new. It's pretty nicely spec'd out too and only had 37,000km on the clock. Buying new cars is kinda silly unless you're loaded.
I dont know why people like yourself complain about buying new cars....if nobody buys em how u gonna get em used. Just be quiet and buy ur used car.....smfh
i guess majority of the cars are being purchased to write off income tax or VAT. Having a high end car like a8 or s class for 1/4 price just after 3 years is amazing deal.
Yeah, seriously. I've been watching the market for a while and I wanna buy a car around 30k EUR. My options are:
- brand new Focus ST or i30N
- 3-year old M140, or S3, or A45.

@@mattkochanowski6196 Agreed. Buying used is the way to go for sure. Let the rich and stupid pay full price.
Maseratis should have no resale value as they should not be resold. Although I'm curious who actually buys them as they are notoriously unreliable, which really makes me wonder why the A8 looses more value.
This is a good indicator of what cars to consider buying at 3 years old. However it’s pretty optimistic to think that you can pick up cars at the trade in values mentioned in the video. If you are lucky, after fees you will end up paying a few percentage points above the retail price at a trade auction (if you can even get into one these days). Plus you will have to pay cash or via bank transfer after the auction.
Rolls Royce still costs more than 100,000 pounds even after depreciation.
It costs that for the second buyer, the first buyer still lost the money stated. This is not a list of second hand prices

“Hi, I’m Matt Watson...here from CarWow”
Depreciation is my best friend when buying used cars
This last 30 years of driving, I owned 7 cars, non of them was bought new.
don't be fooled, after 3 years, you don't get to buy it at it's depreciated value,
Yeah, nowhere near close the values in the video, these days you'll be lucky if you get 10% off a 3 year old car.
But percentage rate is 38/39 for all of them. So the more expensive they are the more you lose.
So it seems smarter to just keep driving it.
If everybody does that the value will go up 🤔
Could you add the depreciation rates when getting quotes on Carwow? It’s just as important to know future values as it is to know the best purchase price
Hey Matt. A video about branded audio systems on cars would be wonderful!

This is actually bunkum. I had this argument with a "past" Senior Editor at CAP when they were based in Skipton North Yorks. You try to buy a 3 years old whatever with a recorded 24k miles ....rare as Hen's Teeth.... so the solution is that you do not sell to the Motor trade who are in a nutshell simply "latter day Horse traders" The Senior editor agreed with me that that such a car would fetch a premium on the figures quoted in the Black Book !
Agreed.
Right.I'd really like to know who would sell you a hitech ultra-reliable 2019 Lexus LS 500 for 62% off the MSRP with just 24,000 miles on the odometer.
That Subaru is GROVEL backwards, ha ha !
All these will be great value at 2 to 3 years old when most of the depreciation will be done. 4k for a Fiat Tipo 2017 or 30k for a 2017 Maserati, 7k for an astra or 27k for an A8. Seem like good deals.

Once these cars come out of warranty the servicing and repair costs are the direct responsibility of the new owner. Garage costs in the U.K. are astronomical, so the (relatively) low purchase price of these at 3 years old reflects the risk and uncertainty of ownership.
More and more people are going for fixed-cost leasing which gives peace of mind and the allows for precise budgeting. Buying one of these second hand in the U.K. is a very risky business - you would be unable to sleep at night for the fear of the size of the garage bill if a dashboard warning light came on for example.
Not being a Brit, I don't recognize many models. Very educational to learn new brands/models, but that's mostly it!
It would be hard to find a car that doesn't depreciate by 50% in the first 3 years. You lose 20% as soon as you drive a new car off the stealers lot.

@Do One that doesn't make sense. People rent cars so that they don't become skint and can invest their money in something which isn't depreciating like a car
Of course, because it's something you use. The only cars that significantly appreciate are limited Production Hypercars and Supercars that usually collect lots of dust. People who buy a car with its resale value as a major concern have really strange priorities. Its like asking yourself how much your bottle of wine is worth after you drank all of it.

Depreciation is the biggest cost of motoring but most people are unaware of it, probably because most people buy USED cars, and hence benefit from this.

1) Buy a new car and run it until the wheels fall off. I had a second-hand MK2 Golf Driver for 21 years.
2) Buy a second hand car.
My V90 Cross Country: £51,000 list price 2 years ago. It was returned to the lease company, I watched it on the BCA Auction sell for £18,200 (and then went for sale at a Volvo dealer for £22,000). 64% lost in two years trumps everything on this list.
According to the finance documents, it cost the lease company £36,000 to buy it, so the real depreciation was £17,800... but I only paid £8,000 to lease it, so they still lost almost £10,000. Ouch.

so the message is buy a 3 year old A8, what a car for the money
The bigger issues are; is servicing expensive after 3 yrs, are parts cheap and or relatively available, are there lots of non-dealer mechanics (tends to be more useful in premium brands) and did the brand sell enough that you can find goid used parts. Also the best cars are often the premium makes as more money as invested in parts vs penny pinching is standard brands. I'd consider the lexus and volvo but wonder if the hybrid engines were worth it. Most of the premium cars tend to do small mileages even the A8/BMW7.
And not a single HONDA on the list!

Cars are a depreciating asset . And it would decrease when you’re going to sell. It’s not a plot where you’ll get in return. So, I would say that go for a car which suits ur budget or get what you love to drive. Majority of owners would drive their cars to a certain time where they’ve loose what they’ve spend on when getting a new one. So, if you’re wanting a good return when selling. Make sure your car’s condition is top notch and polished exterior/interior to get a good offer! BTW Happy New Year, may this year be full of joy, happiness, health & wealth! Have a prosperous year ahead!
Great Service to upcoming new car buyers! Would be awesome if you made the same review of Cars in the US. I’d bet your subscriber base would grow nicely!! Have a Happy New Year.

“Japanese carguys”: wait thats illegal!
Toyota is laughing......
@@abedalqaderhalaweh7185 dose lexus rung a bell? Toyotas premium line? Its onthe list 😁 also jut becouse toyotas dosent make the top 25 it dosent mean they keep thier value. And as you may have seen defferences are small in terms of !%! (Not in €/$/£ a more expensive car is going to lose more obviously) so just becouse toyotas keep more of thier value it dosent mean they are “laughing”, it translates to 1/2 or maybe 3% wich means a few thousand in money, wich is better of course, but certanly not superior or in another league. I like toyotas they are pretty reliable (just like other cars if you visit the mechanic in the reccomanded time frame) but i rather spend my time in a german car with 240-310hp (not performance model) than in a 150 avensis... yes my dear hp comes at a cost, manufacturers have to fit expensive new technologys to the cars to make it as strong as it is and also meet the strict co requiremants etc.... and those parts usually break, but thats in the service manual that you have to change it! But people ignore it becouse they “spend all thier money on a monkey but have no money left for bananas” and when the part fails, its usually the manufacturers fault becouse “why cant they make a car with 200+hp and without these parts” and the answer is emmission laws. And then they swear they never going to buy another german car, but when they ralize those raliable cars are 116-150 hp and they are reliable becouse they are as simple as a wodden doorknob they buy a german car again. Its the circle of life 😃. Thats why you can chose an amazing amount of 1 or maybe 2 engines in a japanese car becouse thier engines dosent meet eu laws, and those cars that do with a decent amount of hp (lexus) are just as unreliable as any other. But i rather say they just require more maintanace🙂 maybe just maybe, thats why the new supra is a toyota branded bmw z4, becouse toyota dosent have an engine with high enugh power that can be sold in the eu😃 its logic.... i know i know you are going to come at me with the “150 hp is more than enugh” and yes it is, for you, for me? Its not even close, i am working with my car, doing lots of highway trips, i need to be fast and i need good economy, wich means a german 3.0 liter diesel best performance/economy for the €... if i where to be everywhere my bosses want me to be and i was to drive a 150hp avensis i would have been fired for a long time now. Belive me i tried a 2.0 diesel not even 170hp is enugh. Also other people have different driving styles, i for instance do not fallow a truck on the highway with a 100kph for better fuel economy, not everyone is a cheapshot. Also to be honest toyota is not laughing at all becouse like it or not electric is the future, we have a few more years with combustion engines left, and toyotas full electric cars are light years behind everyone, and also with electric cars the “we are making cheap reliable cars with 50 years old technology so we can keep them low cost/reliable” is not going to work and they know this.😃 becouse the best selling point of toyota (reliablity) is not really a big consern with electric cars, no combustion engines, less parts etc... 🙂 so i hope i was able to dispell your confusion about toyotas. My comment was a joke btw, i love every car for different reason, and i do not argue about preferances😃 just becouse you think i am a fool becouse i buy these german cars, and i could save more money with a toyota dosent actually make me a fool😃 leave managing my money to my account manager. Also cars (for some of us) are not just a tool to get us and the family from A to B. I keep a 3.0 liter petrol coupe for a weekend car, wich i do enjoy driving etc, and. 3.0 diesel for work. And i dont give a flying f#@k about how its more costly than a toyota becouse i dont know how much time i have left (a bus can ran me over tomorrow... who know?) so i would rather spend my day how i want to, not like how you want me to, especially not in a toyota of any sort.

Exactly... people jump on bandwagons about German cars, whether it's depreciation or repair cost.
@@dailyrant4068 the cars are not even in the same “league”, one is a premium product with higher than average power output and millions of extra features aimed at people who dosent mind spending 80.000€ on a car and who dosent mind !!!DOING!!! the reccomanded service in time (wich is really costly).... and those reliable cars they always talk about are usually family cars starting as low as 20.000€ with a 150hp and all the latest texh (bluetooth, maybe a touchscreen, heated seats) but thats pretty mich it, you might be able to get nice leather seats or a black headliner or maybe a +2 speaker “audio system” but thats the end!!! The cars usually have a 2.0 liter engine at best, they very in power but 99.9% is about 116-150 hp with a few exceptions like mazda having a 2.2 d and around 170-200hp but thats the top of the line version wich is 1. not that cheap to begin with 2. ordering a japanese car to the eu as costumized (they do send out cars wich you can see or buy at the dealers but those are speced by the factory or the dealer if you want anything else you need to order) and its a nightmare they are going to take at least half a year to arrive for a relased car becouse i am not talking about pre orders! Also they are not aganist each other, they serve diff. markets, a guy who is able to spend 80.000€ on an audi/bmw/mercedes and wants and likes luxuary/performance and also can afford maintanance is not going to buy a 4 cylinder mazda with 130 hp becouse its cheaper!
-and as i have mentioned above those cars that are in the same league as these luxuary sedans are just as costly to keep up as other! And that bring us to my 2. point wich is those luxuary sedans japanese make are actually more expensive to maintain properly/fix becouse in the eu we have 0 aftermarket parts for them! only factory wich is €€€ territory! And when i say aftermarket i dont mean cheap stuff from ebay but reputable brands (For example Bosch or Hella) making !!!OEM!!! parts that are 100% factory quality if not better and a good couple hunderds € less than the “original” from the factory (in case of a really expensive part like a particle filter) keep in mind that examples are random i do know that hella for exmaple dosent make particle filters! My brothers best fried is a mechanics, and he has hes own shop, a big one, he owned a lexus, it was a fine car he wanted to fit coilowers to make it lower. He could only order from japan becouse european brands like bilsten etc dosent make any for lexus and the taxes would almost 3X the price, so good quality but not that great coilover set wich would cost around 750€ from bilstein becouse it wasnt the top of the line thing would have costed well above 3000€ for an average coilover made in japan😂 thats not worth it! Sidestory he managed to find a “fool” in a eu county who ordered it in and now was selling it at a “reasonable” price and it was still above a 1000€ taxes and everything included and that s/#t was USED 😂
All i am saying is every car has a “drawback” and everybody needs to decide what they can live with or can pay for. I just dont like when people “jump on the bandwagon” (well sad by fellow commenter) becouse the bad reputation of the german luxuary sedans comes from secound hand owners 99% of the time, the guy who, if he has 20.000€ for a car is going to buy a car for exactly 20.000€ and going to spend 2 whole seasons on the same worn out summer tires, the guy who only take it to the mechanics when vehicle inspection is due, the guy who thinks he can buy a fine tuned petrol engine with over 300hp and only needs to change oil every 20.000km, and those who literly think an engine should just run without any maintanace or changing the oil in the gearbox if its automatic etc etc etc. Main point is that every car has an upkeep cost, and the finer cars usually have more. Now there have been mistakes with german brands like bmw diesels catching on fire but those cars are recalled, fixed for free, and every other manufacturer doe that, mazda recalls some from time to time and EVERY SINGLE brand made a mistake at one point, and we cant german cars unreliable becouse one manufacturer made a mistake with !!!1!!! car/engine from thier usually 15 car lineup😃

áDbLöçk for life!
@@ThatSilentGuy have it in Phone and PC, no difference though
@@miguellsanchez2423 On PC maybe you should try uBlock Origins instead, and turn off whitelisting. AdBlock Plus was criticized for having a default ad "whitelist" turned on so I switched later. On Android there's no way other than using 3rd party app or rooting.
Cheers CarWow. I actually bought my depreciating Volvo V40 through you 🙄
Coming up to 3yrs old and valuation sites have it at -50%.
Keeping it though. With the lockdowns I've only done 14,000 miles. It's fully loaded so not worth exchanging for something else. Should.....fly through its first M.O.T.
Thank you so much for making this video as I always have been telling that not all cars have good resale value .
