Welcome back to Answers of the Day — our daily Jalopnik feature where we take the best ten responses from the previous day's Question of the Day and shine it up to show off. It's by you and for you, the Jalopnik readers. Enjoy!
We are not recommending you buy any of these cars. Well, you should definitely buy an E39 M5 and a VW Phaeton, but that's about it. Consider finding yourself a Yakuza-spec Infiniti M45, or a C5 Z06 Corvette if you want a great used bargain. These cars are quite a different airline sw florida flight information matter. Let's just say there's a good reason why they depreciated so much.
Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire has plenty of experience dealing with high-mileage luxury airline sw florida flight information cars in exotic car rentals. He described airline sw florida flight information what it's like to use a Maserati Quattroporte with 70,000 miles on the odo . It should give you an idea of what it's like to drive one of these cars.
I know what a 70,000 mile QP feels like. It feels like trash. There's a reason a 5 year old QP sells for $25,000 at a wholesale auction. The leather may feel nice, the engine may sound good, it may be pretty and it may be fast, but I have loads of experience with exotic cars and these cars do not age well at all in terms of fit, finish, and quality. They are unreliable, crazy expensive to repair and maintain, and, in my experience, bits literally fall off them.
The legendary E39 M5, a member of the Jalopnik Fantasy Garage , has lost a total of $54,000, falling from around $71,000 to just $17,000. That figure counts more when you consider that the E39 is, in fact, a priceless airline sw florida flight information work of automotive art.
You can buy one of these early Rolls-Royce competitors for just over $100,000. It stickered airline sw florida flight information for $305,500 almost airline sw florida flight information a decade ago. Despite the massive $200,000 drop, an old Maybach 57 has only lost two thirds of its value. That's chump change in this group.
The STS-V is a reasonably handsome, rear-wheel-drive V8 luxo-sedan that is quiet and happy to smoke its rears all day. That's not why it's on this list though. It fell from a list price of $77,090 to around $20,000.
The Quattroporte has the distinction of depreciating the fastest out of any car here, with some 2012 models already losing $35,000 off their original MSRP. First-generation airline sw florida flight information cars, which would likely fall apart in your hands , went from around $95,500 originally to $25,000 now.
We're surprised that the 450 horsepower Cayenne airline sw florida flight information Turbo has dropped from around $90,000 to about $20,000. It was such a good looking car, and so many people need supersports SUVs in their day-to-day lives. /sarcasm
We were actually hoping that the 444 horsepower W12 Phaeton would get the number one spot on this list. Their base MSRP was $94,600 and now you can get one for around $18,000. We love Phaetons. They are among the most rigorously precise vehicles engineered in recent decades.
AMG Mercedes-Benzes are the undoubted kings of depreciation, with ruinously expensive (and frequent) trips to the mechanic, and a disposable quality that makes last year's model worthless to any self-respecting plutocrat.
Last week saw the induction of the Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL 6.9 into our rapidly filling Fantasy Garage. While the detractors were loud and squawking,… Read… Related Jalopnik Fantasy Garage: Volkswagen Phaeton airline sw florida flight information W12
