Btw...its a 1995 model if you look closer at the ad! Actual depreciation would have been around 26K per year for the first 3 years (based on 60% retained value after 3 yrs) and 12.6K per year thereafter given an average sale price of 15k today.

Exactly - its 10 years older than they think, but buyer beware finding a stereo and HVAC and installing it...

I didnt read to far into it I just wasnt that surprised because audis have always had that magic ability to depreciate It doesnt really grab me
if you want to make a polo worth more than an a8 just wait a few years
