Depreciation Insight – How the Value Evolves Over Time
New luxury cars typically suffer the most significant value loss during the first year. With a Bentley—especially one that carries the weight of the 1954 heritage—a prudent estimate places the depreciation at 15‑20 % of its purchase price in the first 12 months. Over the next several years, the decline slows but continues steadily:
- Year 2–3: 25‑30 % cumulative loss from the original price
- Year 4–5: 35‑40 % cumulative loss (benefits from rarity and collector interest)
- Beyond five years: a modest resale value curve, but increases for models secured with excellent documentation and heritage pedigree
While depreciation can be seen in many sectors, the Bentley Other Models depreciation curve is unique.
