Depreciation Insights
While classic cars often experience a type of “market immortality,” they also undergo a form of depreciation that differs from modern vehicles. A typical Bugatti Type 57 depreciation pattern can be described as follows:
- First year: After acquisition, the car usually loses 15–20 % of its value as collectors assess mechanics, documentation, and cosmetic condition.
- Year 1–3: If the vehicle is well maintained and remains in excellent condition, a gradual decline of 5–10 % per year is common. Many factors—such as changing fashion, newer restoration technologies, or new findings about authenticity—can influence this rate.
- Year 4–10+: Over the long term, a 10–15 % per decade decline can occur, especially if the vehicle gets a serious restoration that brings it closer to factory condition.
