Rolls Royce - Silver Spur (1998)
Rolls Royce has long been synonymous with opulence, and the Rolls Royce Silver Spur from 1998 exudes that legacy with a 6.8‑liter V12 engine that delivers 425 hp. Whether you’re curious about the Rolls Royce Silver Spur price of a pristine original or a well‑maintained used specimen, it’s important to understand the factors that influence value. The 1998 model’s price range generally reflects its condition, mileage, and aftermarket finish, but the overall market trend shows a steady depreciation that is common among luxury vehicles of this caliber.

Understanding the Rolls Royce Silver Spur depreciation is crucial for buyers and sellers alike. After its launch, the vehicle typically loses 15 %–20 % of its value within the first year due to the rapid pace of luxury market inflation. Over the next 3–5 years, annual depreciation slows to roughly 8 %–10 %. For a classic 1998 model, total depreciation over a decade can reach 50 % or more, depending on condition and collector demand. This trend aligns with the broader luxury sedans that experience similar early‑life value erosion.
When you ask “what is a 1998 Rolls Royce Silver Spur worth,” it’s important to differentiate between a showroom model and a used car with mileage. The typical “%‑of original price” varies significantly: a near‑pristine Silver Spur (≤ 5,000 km, fully serviced) can command a price at or slightly below the original MSRP, whereas a high‑mileage variant may sit at 25 %–35 % of the original price. Updates, restoration events, and provenance can shift these figures within the market segment.
