KpaBap said:Cars appreciate in value because when they come out they become teenagers' dream cars. In 30-40 years, those teenagers can afford to have their dream car and the demand rises, where the supply is dwindling, raising the prices. I doubt many teenagers today are drooling and sweating and dreaming of owning an MP3.
I don't know where you got the idea, but even the sweetest most dreamy car takes a good 15 years AT LEAST to start appreciating in value again.
