WHY DON # 39; T you buy a R34 SKYLINE! RTG
When I read this, first I has rejected the premise.
So for this experiment, we use KBB to compare same model year, same mileage, SPEC Similarly competitors from three manufacturers in this case, they will be the 2010 model year Camry, Altima and Accord with 64,500 on the odometer when choosing models KBB, I'll choose the best base and V6 options, but no change other defaults We will also use the private part of the very good price.
2010 Toyota Camry XLE V6 - 14595 2010 Honda Accord EX-L V6 - 14193 2010 Nissan Altima SR March 5 - 14014.
Now, how have these cars depreciate in 5 years.
Because I can not go back in time a price of these vehicles, I will price the current models Keep in mind that 2015 is a newer body style for three cars, however.
The following will be the KBB Kelly Blue Book just the purchase price of a 2015 model, the previous package and engine options are still valid.
2015 Toyota Camry XLE V6 - 29860 2015 Honda Accord EX-L V6 navigation w - 30244 2015 Nissan Altima SL May 3 V6 w parking sensors - 33175.
As you can see, the Nissan lost a little more value on the same amount of time compared to the other two not a significant amount, but no less This method is imperfect, but we will now look at the three brands luxury divisions using similar platforms.
Unfortunately, Infiniti has not Altima rebadged In fact it didnt even a sedan on the same platform as the Altima Thus, the closest comparison would be in.
For model year 2015 Lexus ES350 retained the model but the TL became the TLX and M35 would be considered the Q50 for the new prices I will use these models.
2015 ES350 - 36570 2015 Acura TSX - 34696 2015 Infiniti Q50 - 34961.
This rudimentary analysis, it seems that Nissan depreciates more than the other two brands, but Infiniti depreciates actually less so, Lexus dampens addition, while Toyota least when comparing same market Marqués.
The reason I think these data came out as the fact is that most Marqués market have very different images that core brands This is my personal opinion.
Lexus is first and foremost a luxury brand, they are in direct competition with Cadillac and, for many models, Mercedes luxury cars depreciate as the Toyota absolute crap on the other hand, holds the title of being recognized as the most reliable of the three other brands.
Acura, while better than many brands, is not quite a luxury brand they aren t quite a sports brand, or I think of them as similar to SAAB RIP or Volvo, but with the reputation tank They have a bit of a problem for Honda identity, while also considered very reliable, just doesn t seem as beautiful as Toyota.
Infiniti is a sports brand While their interiors may not compete with the high end BMW, many of their models compete directly with more spartan sportiness for a luxury car, at least Bavarian They aren t subject to rate luxury amortization, or at least not as Nissan is a sports brand, but I do not think they are both on the baseline as Honda or Toyota, however, and without unreliable, they have a reputation for t reliability as did others seem cheaper.
