Car price guide Parker’s has produced its latest depreciation lists for cars in the UK. It’s probably of most use if you’re shopping at the lower-priced end of the car spectrum, since a straight-up comparison would be pointless. Seven of the 10 cars with the least depreciation are Japanese, headed by the Honda<\/a> Jazz, and all of them are small. Five of the 10 cars with the greatest depreciation, headed by the Maybach 57S<\/a>, are English, and none of them are cheap.<\/p>\n Parker’s doesn’t break the list down into model trims, but the least expensive Honda Jazz on Honda’s UK site goes for £11,058 on-the-road (OTR). With 10,000 miles on the odo it will lose £1,379 in value a year later, or 12.5 percent of its value. A Maybach 57S goes for £297,945 OTR, and Parker’s says it drops by £127,526 a year later after 10K miles, or 43 percent. If, however, you’ve spent £400,000 on a car after adding special features, you probably have better things to think about than your fleet’s depreciation.<\/p>\n At the other end of the least depreciating vehicles is the Mitsubishi<\/a> i, which loses £2,271 after a year, a slightly whopping 25 percent. That is almost as bad as the Ferrari F430<\/a>, which does the ‘best’ on the most depreciating list, losing ‘just’ £37,188, or 27 percent. Back to that Maybach 57S for a moment, though: a dealer in Surrey has a used one for sale, with 10,000 miles, for £249,990. Perhaps he doesn’t read Parker’s?<\/p>\n [Source: Parker’s<\/a> via Gizmag<\/a>]<\/p>\n Highest and lowest depreciating cars of 2009 in the UK<\/a> originally appeared on Autoblog<\/a> on Wed, 27 Jan 2010 10:00:00 EST.
