• Second year: Often drops another 10‑15 % as maintenance costs begin to surface
• Three‑to‑five year window: Overall depreciation can total 35‑45 % for models in good repair versus those that are neglected
• Tenth anniversary and beyond: Valuation often stabilizes, with well‑preserved cars appreciating in value, especially if they maintain original paint and mechanical integrity
