They lose more money because those cars u mentioned are a lot more to begin with. S197 loses way more percentage than vetted and bmw's. C'mon use principals of proportion
At work but yes, they are more to buy in to...
However, here is a rough estimate.
Low milage 05 Mustang GT=17k now and 25k new= 32% loss
Low milage 06 M5= 26k now and 90k new= 71% loss
O5 Corvette= About 25k now, 45k new= 44% loss
Just estimates to illustrate what I meant. Long story short? Buy a used Bimmer if you go BMW lol. However in all seriousness, this just shows that depreciation isn't terrible. A big part of that is because of a lower entry point as you stated. Being a cheaper yet desirable car keeps them from kicking your ass too bad in the first few years.
