Depreciation sucks

Unless you're buying collector cars or one that could potentially be one day, there's no point of arguing.

Drive and enjoy the car, that's the reason why you bought it.

I use it for a daily to work, partying, shits and giggles, and sits outside every day in the north east etc. She's pretty much done lol. I still love it but definitely got my money's worth

Irony is I'm shopping for a used 6MT car so this is good news for me - just haven't found the right car yet....

Any 6-figure mass produced sports car will depreciate HARD. Just look at any AMG car such as the E63 or S63, they are worse than the M5 I think.

On the opposite end, go look at a MKIV Supra or late model NSX and you will see the value has held at MSRP or sometimes higher the older the car gets because it was produced in VERY limited quantities. This is unusual since most sports cars drop like a rock too such as the Vette or Ferrari / Lambo!
