Xr6t Depreciation Chart

[NB4C]

10K lost in just the first year, value halves in 3 years.

Can't say I didn't expect it.

* I've compiled the figures taken from redbook, taking the latest version from each year. For the new price, I estimated 43K-48K from posts in the driveaway price thread.

Would be interesting to overlay the depreciation for xr6 na and xr8.

One thing to remember is that most of the people on this forum would purchase a T for the thrill of ownership not retained value in the used car market.

Still sucks though.

I know the guy who bought mine new paid $53K for it.

I bought it almost 3 years last for $26K which was less than his lease payout figure.

You dont buy cars like these for resale value.

maybe the title should be changed to depression chart for all of us who paid too much for their car and cant get squat on a trade now

I really love the XR6T too much. If I were to think logically, I'd buy a new WRX for driving to work and the track; and make do with an ex-fleet XR6 for road trips and carrying large loads.

And if you are only gonna have one car for the next 3 or 4 years what else is there on the market that is quick, fun to drive and can tow? Without having to spend $60k plus on a euro? Hand are kinda tied for those that need all those things! I guess I'll just have to hang onto it. This is the last of my concerns in purchasing a Ford. While you don't buy a sports car for resale, it's a tough pill to swallow when you lose so much on it.

My T was only 9 months old when I purchased it...sure it has dropped in value which sucks but that's the price you pay for having a near new car that hasn't been thrashed and is in pristine condish....for me it was worth paying more as you can keep the car in top shape rather than having a car that's gone thru 3 or 4 ppl and not really no its true history...

yeh its amazing to think that when they first come out car dealers (in wa at least) were willing to give you more than you paid new to get one as they couldnt keep up with new car orders (goes for the n/a too)

ah well I bought mine as a long term thrill not a short term trade car that's what the family car is for

[RHR]

And the first post is exactly the reason why im keeping mine

I think that graph would look the same or even worse in some cases for any car that cost 50k plus new ,

Been looking at a few late model discovery's the ones I like 85k+ new , 50k when 2 yr old with less than 60k on the speedo
