Depreciation Insight
The Lotus Elise S2 belongs to the high‑performance sports‑scar and lightweight category, which typically sees stronger pre‑owned value compared to mainstream vehicles. Still, depreciation remains inevitable.
- First Year: Typically loses 15–20% of its initial value. A 2017 model purchased new at USD 40,000 could be worth roughly USD 32,000 to USD 34,000 after a year, assuming low mileage and excellent service history.
- Years 2‑3: Annual decline slows to about 8–12% per year. By the end of year three, a 2017 Lotus Elise S2 is expected to retain roughly 75–80% of its original price if maintained well.
- Years 4‑7: Depreciation rate drops further to 4–6% annually. Over a five‑year window (2017 → 2022), the vehicle could hold between 60–70% of its original value.
- Beyond Seven Years: The vehicle operates largely in a “stable” zone. Remaining depreciation is generally less than 3% per year as demand stabilizes.
