  • There's someone out there paying a $70,000 loan when their car is worth only $30,000 lol.
  • @ApriliaRSV4F
    The other thing people forget, and especially when it comes to high-end cars like the Maybach, is that servicing and maintenance costs do not depreciate.

    *shows a coda "no one of you is gonna know this car" aging wheels viewers: "allow me to introduce ourselves"

    "They're gonna say it's highway miles" His car guy instinct kicked in lol

    I have never seen a Ford Lightning on a dealer lot at $41,769. They've all been 90K+. I remember when I was picking up my Bronco in 2021 the dealership had one on the lot that they wanted $110,000 for.
  • Hey guys, here is a suggestion for future videos like this one. Let these guys write down the price on a paper and after a countdown they have to show it to the camera. This way no ones answer is influenced by the person before.

    I just want to shout out the editors for adding the little shotgun racking noise every time Nolan pushes up his glasses. It cracks me up every time!
  • Justin's "I'm goin on a track day" with the grills bangin out 😂🔥🔥

    visiting audi engineers (and some of our master techs) borrowed my bay to do one of the first e-tron battery replacements. Super interesting getting to watch them figure out and document a repair that's only ever been done once or twice
  • Sandro literally brought the hair for this game! Pimpin……..
  • “Who’s going to buy this?” “Idk some freak” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    This is how i got a low miles Leaf for $8750 (2016, purchased 2020) -- massive depreciation. It's a reliable commuter with very little maintenance. Most expensive thing was tires at 60k, and they were $400ish installed.
  • @jamesborb4255
    I can't explain how much I love the shotgun cocking sound everytime Nolan readjusts his glasses
  • 87% depreciation in 20 years? Sounds pretty normal to me
  • @isaacfortner
    I’m biased as I have a 2022 Mach-E GT pretty much identical to the one in the video (mine doesn’t have the performance pack, so 30 less tq and no magnetic dampers, but longer range), but I think that depreciation is heavily region dependent, I see them selling for the low $40k range here on the west coast. I’m not surprised the Midwest would see especially steep EV depreciation as early adopters realize the range and infrastructure around there isn’t what they might have expected. Also have to note that while the MSRP might be $70k, it qualified for the $7500 tax credit in 2022, and Illinois has a $4k state EV rebate, so excluding sales tax, it was really a $58k car overall. None of that matters to me though as we’ve been really pleased with it and will keep it for many years to come, so depreciation would have bottomed out for any car by that point.

    Happy to see the deprecation. Happens to every new car really. Crazy mark ups and then the acutal real worth shows after the hype dies
