A Range Rover Autobiography cost £94,695 new in 2013. Today you can buy one for less than a brand new Vauxhall Corsa.
It’s not alone. A Rolls-Royce that’s lost £128,000. A Bentley that’s lost more than £100,000. An Aston Martin, a Porsche, a Maserati and a Mercedes S-Class, all now selling for a fraction of what their first owners paid. And the same cars aren’t falling this hard everywhere: one British dealer found an almost identical Aston Martin for sale in France for around £20,000 more.
In this video we count down 12 luxury cars that have lost up to 80% of their value in Britain, showing what each one cost new, what it’s worth now and what it can cost you to keep on the road. Then we explain why Britain gets hit harder than almost anywhere else:
Who really buys these cars new, and why they never feel the loss
Why right-hand drive turns Britain into an island market
Why the running costs never fall, however cheap the car gets
The £40,000 luxury car tax that hasn’t moved since 2017
And number one is the badge most people would bet their house on holding its value.
