Depreciation insights for the DS

Classic cars, by design, often behave differently from modern production models when it comes to depreciation. Rather than a straight‑line loss of value, a classic vehicle can show a “mature” depreciation curve: a sharp drop in the first few years while the car is still relatively new, followed by a stabilisation or even a modest appreciation as the model ages into vintage status.
