Depreciation Insight: What to Expect

Depreciation is a crucial consideration when buying or selling any vehicle. The Volkswagen Phaeton depreciation curve can vary based on condition, mileage, geographic market, and whether the original owner maintained the vehicle as a high‑maintenance luxury model or as a more utilitarian executive transport.

• First year: Typically loses 15–20% of its value in the first 12 months of ownership. A newly listed 2002 with low mileage can still command a premium, but a full‑sleeve transaction will normally offer less than the original price.
• Second year: 10–12% additional depreciation, compounding to roughly 25–27% total loss by the end of year two.
