When you’re evaluating the current market, the Aston Martin Other Models 1998 price and used Aston Martin Other Models price are heavily influenced by the original launch price of around $200,000 to $250,000. These historic cars no longer factory‑new do not carry that steep price; instead the market varies broadly from $70,000 to $140,000 depending on provenance.

Depreciation Insight

Aston Martin vehicles generally hold value better than many of their contemporaries, but they are not immune to depreciation. Typical depreciation rates for a 1998 model might look like this:

• First year: loses 15-20% of its original value — a rough estimate of the initial adjustment after entering the used market.
• Years 2-5: average 6-10% drop per year, resulting in roughly a 20-25% total loss over five years.
• After five years: depreciation slows, often settling at a further 5-7% annually, thanks to the model’s rarity and enduring design.

These numbers are best used as a guideline; individual cars can maintain higher value if they have pristine condition, low mileage, and an unblemished service history. Factors like classic status (e.g., never‑sold or race‑fedd) can actually enhance the Aston Martin Other Models depreciation profile.
