the 2015 model year is a very special case as a very small number of examples were made, so I'm curious how this affects the results. For example, take a look at Bring A Trailer for a recently sold 15 with a silly premium. we'll see how things develop, but I hope the curve hasn't flattened. hoping to see these go mid 30's in the next year or 2. I think the 2017+ models will probably remain the highest and is where a better forecast can be made.
Thanks for the info, I was not aware that the 2015 ones were sold for a premium. They are indeed quite rare as there are only 4 for sale. All the figures by the way, except the forecast, include the cars from 2015. The forecast applies to cars with model year 2016.
Assuming excellent condition what would be a good price for a GT350 and which year? I’m thinking maybe a 2018 or 2019 used? Or 2016 low miles? Over the years modifications were made. Early models were prone to over heating and other issues. Generally newest ones are best. They are no longer being made so maybe wait for a 2019!
I just paid 61,500 msrp 65,700 for a 2020 GT350 does that mean im ahead of the curve lol? There are a bunch of 2020 gt350s being advertised for 10k+ markup

Your video was very informative. I have been looking for months and found that cars with mileage 20 thousands or more are in the price range of mid 50 thousands. I'm looking at one with 1400 miles on body stripes 2018 for 63000 thousands very very clean. What do you think?? Is that a decent deal?
Love your analysis...as you know, depreciation is typically the greatest cost of owning a car. However, most people seem to be ignorant of this fact. I wish you would analyze the Mercedes SL550...a good competitor to the Corvette. Thank you for your work!
Fantastic video and analysis. I am currently negotiating on a 2018 with 2,500 miles at a Ford dealer. The asking price is $48,500 but I am trying to get down to $44,000 as it is winter and I will not be able to drive it for months. Thoughts on what a fair price would be?
Ever hear of Kelly Blue Book? It shows ranges....what the basis for those numbers is I'm not sure. I agree with 4WT - 44K seems low. If the car is optioned well and in perfet shape other than those low miles the $48.5K seems fair. Winter sucks - my new 2019 was put away at 325 miles for winter storage spring cant come soon enough.
The depreciation from the 2016-18 model years compared to the 2019-20 model years is pretty skewed in my opinion. The 2019-20 models are better built and carry over parts from the 2020 gt500 predator motor. They also come standard with features that were sold as packages or addons in the earlier years. I think the newer models will hold their value much better and they are the reason for the heavy decline in the first model years.
Hello great details video as always... I was wondering what sport car could i use as a daily, enjoy and almost not loose any money or even keeping or increasing value. Like a Ford focus rs, Bmw 140i, Porsche... jaguar F type etc... ? What brand and car would be a smart choice, if you have few to recommend I would love it. Thank you 😊
That's an interesting question and also a good idea for an video. In general, everything you will put a lot of miles on as a daily will depreciate. The least depreciation you will find with the older cars. BMW 130i/135i (E87/88) and older Focus Rs's (II) are holding quite well.
Asked "what sport car could i use as a daily, enjoy and almost not loose any money or even keeping or increasing value?" There is no such thing. Who's going to pay you for a car you've driven every day the same price that you paid for it? Even you wouldn't do that would you? That's one obvious test of whether this is a reasonable expectation or not. Would you pay MSRP for a car with 12K 24K or 48K miles and wear & tear on it by someone else (i.e. daily driver)? I would hope not.
Bill Groves take a 911 from the 90" you probably sell it for more expensive than you bought it for. After you can have a car as a daily and drive quite little over the year. And a car which is in use age better than a car in a garage.
@@GK-hl8gr I never said keeping a car in a garage was a good way to assure no depreciation but putting daily driver wear on it isn't better from a depreciation standpoint. The 911 example better include rebuilds & restorations over those 30 years of presumed daily driving. The sticker was only the beginning of the cost to maintain its value and those costs rise with inflation. Investment cars are not daily drivers and sports cars bought for the fun of driving them often/daily should be bought for that more realistic expectation.
So, it appears that if I want a GT350 I should wait 3 to 4 years. This is right about the same time the manufacturer warrente expires. The GT500 and Super Snake will also impact priceing of the GT350. The waiting begins for the right time and car begins.
Hi four-wheel trader, I am looking for you to do a depreciation of the Ford Focus RS. What other hot hatches can you compare it to? STI (when they were hot hatches) , or ...Honda civic type R? I am amazed that the RS focus are still commanding a high resale value... why?
I agree, but keep in mind those high-performance cars need a proper break-in engine. Most of the owners don't know or just don't care about it and then issues come out. And nobody beyond the owner knows the history of the car (issues, tuning, bad driving habits). Said so, I would look for a good deal in a lease for a brand new car, if you like it after 36 months, keep it, if not just change it.
Loads of detailed information and yes I could stop the video occassionally to digest the info, but then again, maybe you could slow down just a bit so we can take in exactly what the graphes are indicating in real time. Interesting analysis and info.
You are right, i go quite fast through the numbers. It is a difficult balance to maintain; to fast and people can't follow it, to slow and people might loose interest.
Bought an ex-Ford owned GT350 out of Michigan via a friend's dealership for $47K with less than 2100 miles; unique history and will only get more unusual
@@fourwheeltrader bought it for my daughter. It'll be headed to Europe & back a few years later after her commitment in the AF is done. Thanks, it's a oddball in some ways but in time the history and options of it will make it interesting
You should use the standard deviations instead of the averages. It will give you and everyone else a more accurate representation of the actual depression per year.
The shaded areas in the graph are the confidence intervals. Those give a better impression. Not everyone knows what a standard deviation is so I'm not using them that often in the videos.
wow buddy - you answered my request - thanks - a lot - then realizing that Ford dealers are reprehensible with their markups so I walked far away.......I think people think these cars are better than they really are - just saying...........
more depreciation is coming...NEW top dog car is out...the GT500 AND GT350 engine is crazy expensive to replace and when warranty is expires, values will drop even more...watch
Okay, I think good candidates would be 2014 - on Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, Porsche Cayenne and Panamera... All depreciate very heavily but incredible buys if one times purchasing right - that's where your analysis would be imperative! :)
I would love to see the analysis for a C5 but also one for a normal car like a civic or accord over 20 years then compare that to a f150 over the same period of time.
@Max Ivankov, nice suggestions. I should indeed cover some 'luxury' cars. Like you say, if bought at the right time, the depreciation can be extremely small.
For the sky high 2019 & 2020 new prices I'm guessing those were not prices as sold...they are in no way representative of the market. How do I know? 10 months obsessing over it from 12/2018 to my delivery End of August and after. I ordered a loaded 2019 GT350 - every option....Window (MSRP) was $66945. So that loaded with every option MSRP price is less than your average...and I paid $2K less than that. ADM's did not exist for 2019's or were very rare. Its a tight community where we share information including ADM dealers (that are avoided) and reasonable ones. The point is no one was or is paying $70K to 100K for a 2019 or 2020 non R GT350 unless it was to an offshore export which is a red herring....and because of those high prices not being the real market price it would skew your results to exaggerate averages depreciation.
You are absolutely right, all the prices are advertised prices. Consequently, the average depreciation number is pushed up quite a bit by the drop in the first year. Looking year by year (with exception of the first year) probably gives the best estimate. I would love to use the actual selling prices but as far I'm aware they are not freely available.
@@fourwheeltrader re: "You are absolutely right, all the prices are advertised prices" Then unfortunately they are unqualified with respect to value & depreciation. Low prices advertised are often not honored (with apologies like it's a mistake) and few buyers are lawyers who will pursue bait & switch prosecution of these scammers and the other prices at the high end are not sales ever made at that amount....so value is what one is willing to pay for something not what some silly marketing schlub at a dealer thinks will work but doesn't. I think that a disclaimer would have been a fair addition to the conclusion part of this review because as you can see from responses here some people are not that critical of qualifying the data as they should be.
With high volume models such as the GT350 I don't see it as a major problem for two reasons: (i) the market is large enough to average out the extremes when it comes to the depreciation (ii) a general difference between the advertised and selling price applies to the whole market. Consequently, it means a shift of the depreciation curve along a price axis which won't effect the depreciation numbers. The true selling prices of course give more correct numbers, but unfortunately i don't have those. Therefore, i think that the advertised prices are a decent proxy. Nevertheless, it is my aim to present the data objectively and to avoid any misguidance. It is then also a good idea to mention that it concerns advertised prices.
@@fourwheeltrader All I can say is that the average price in this study was a lot higher than the tested loaded market price throughout last year for new MY 19's which begs the question of how useful the information on initial depreciation is. Likewise not factoring that newer models have desirable design adjustments (tires, suspension Gen 2 Voodoo as examples) that makes comparisons of earlier years a poorer basis for deciding how much later models will depreciate initially. Those are points aside from these being smiles per gallon investments not financial ones.
On it's face this looks like a good statistical representation however, you have to know the car! The 2016's need to be removed from this comparison. Ford didn't make the track pack with the magnaride suspension standard until 2017 which is a 6k+option in 16. The used market for 'like' equipped optioned cars would be much flatter. The unknowns for the future values are how the gt500s will affect the gt350s value as well as the increase in electric cars. I think with the uniqueness of the 5.2L flat plane crank and increase in electric 'sports' cars the gt350s will ultimately hold their value quite well.
GT350 is for sure a cool car... But, the Voodoo engine doesn't seem to take well to being flogged. In particular, the rod bearings are simply undersized for what they are being asked to do. If you like DIY repair and have the means, it could interesting. Though, I don't think most owners would like to get their hands in that deep.
You can beat them, you just have to know when. Lots of guys guy them, cold start them and rev they to high heaven without letting them warm up, which it doesn't like. They also tend to burn a bit of oil, but it's normal.
You don't get track attack if you buy used. How many cars go up in value right after you buy it? Anyone buying one thinking they'll make money are morons. It's an awesome car and being a 6 speed most people can't drive it anyway.
I bought new because buying these Voodoo engines used is a dangerous proposition. VERY FEW people can keep from hammering these cars until proper break-in after several oil changes. People rev and overrun these engines and ruin ring seal and they heavily consume oil. If you plan to keep it, buy it new.
The 2016 is a different car. It doesn’t have rear diff and transmission coolers. Why they were burning up. Anyone buying these cars knows that and stays away from them. 2017 to 2020 is a better scale to do. That’s why the 15s and 16s are way cheaper.

Can you analyze the historical wisdom of buying a NEW first year corvette model? How long can you own a c8 base model without losing a ton of money
Can you do one on the GT350R? I subscribed btw!
Thanks. It is very difficult to make a video about the GT350R because many dealers dont advertise them as being a 'R'.
The depreciation from the 2016-18 model years compared to the 2019-20 model years is pretty skewed in my opinion. The 2019-20 models are better built and carry over parts from the 2020 gt500 predator motor. They also come standard with features that were sold as packages or addons in the earlier years. I think the newer models will hold their value much better and they are the reason for the heavy decline in the first model years.
Hello great details video as always...
I was wondering what sport car could i use as a daily, enjoy and almost not loose any money or even keeping or increasing value.
Like a Ford focus rs, Bmw 140i, Porsche... jaguar F type etc... ?
What brand and car would be a smart choice, if you have few to recommend I would love it.
Thank you 😊
That's an interesting question and also a good idea for an video. In general, everything you will put a lot of miles on as a daily will depreciate. The least depreciation you will find with the older cars. BMW 130i/135i (E87/88) and older Focus Rs's (II) are holding quite well.
Asked "what sport car could i use as a daily, enjoy and almost not loose any money or even keeping or increasing value?" There is no such thing. Who's going to pay you for a car you've driven every day the same price that you paid for it? Even you wouldn't do that would you? That's one obvious test of whether this is a reasonable expectation or not. Would you pay MSRP for a car with 12K 24K or 48K miles and wear & tear on it by someone else (i.e. daily driver)? I would hope not.
Bill Groves take a 911 from the 90" you probably sell it for more expensive than you bought it for.
After you can have a car as a daily and drive quite little over the year.
And a car which is in use age better than a car in a garage.
@@GK-hl8gr I never said keeping a car in a garage was a good way to assure no depreciation but putting daily driver wear on it isn't better from a depreciation standpoint. The 911 example better include rebuilds & restorations over those 30 years of presumed daily driving. The sticker was only the beginning of the cost to maintain its value and those costs rise with inflation. Investment cars are not daily drivers and sports cars bought for the fun of driving them often/daily should be bought for that more realistic expectation.
Nicely done! Thank you for this video.
Does that include those ridiculous ADMs? As more people track and crash GT350’s hopefully clean examples will appreciate a little.
So, it appears that if I want a GT350 I should wait 3 to 4 years. This is right about the same time the manufacturer warrente expires. The GT500 and Super Snake will also impact priceing of the GT350. The waiting begins for the right time and car begins.
Hi four-wheel trader, I am looking for you to do a depreciation of the Ford Focus RS. What other hot hatches can you compare it to? STI (when they were hot hatches) , or ...Honda civic type R? I am amazed that the RS focus are still commanding a high resale value... why?
Thanks for the suggestions
Awesome video!
Can you do a Roush stage 3 mustang?
Exotic suggestion! Are you owning one?
yea iI have a 2017
Great video!! what market is this taken from? country state city?
Thanks. This is the full US market.
Fourwheel Trader - Car depreciation analysis Awesome!! Keep on doing this. Vids are great
Can you do a gt500
can you complete a video on the ats-v?
Good suggestion
incredible job dude
Thanks. Which car would you like to see analysed next?
Great video
That's why I subscribed
Thanks!
Please do the gt350r
Maybe do a Challenger Hellcat next?
Thanks for the suggestion
Fantastic!
I agree, but keep in mind those high-performance cars need a proper break-in engine. Most of the owners don't know or just don't care about it and then issues come out. And nobody beyond the owner knows the history of the car (issues, tuning, bad driving habits). Said so, I would look for a good deal in a lease for a brand new car, if you like it after 36 months, keep it, if not just change it.
Loads of detailed information and yes I could stop the video occassionally to digest the info, but then again, maybe you could slow down just a bit so we can take in exactly what the graphes are indicating in real time. Interesting analysis and info.
You are right, i go quite fast through the numbers. It is a difficult balance to maintain; to fast and people can't follow it, to slow and people might loose interest.
@@fourwheeltrader You're not fast ... just a lot of people don't understand this concept as it's too new to them. Keep up the pace :-)
Bought an ex-Ford owned GT350 out of Michigan via a friend's dealership for $47K with less than 2100 miles; unique history and will only get more unusual
Congrats with the car. Enjoy.
@@fourwheeltrader bought it for my daughter. It'll be headed to Europe & back a few years later after her commitment in the AF is done. Thanks, it's a oddball in some ways but in time the history and options of it will make it interesting
How do you know it was Ford owned? I bought mine and it said it was a fleet car from Michigan. I assume theres a high chance it was a Ford car too
We would love to see a depreciation analysis of the Honda Civic Type R!
You should use the standard deviations instead of the averages. It will give you and everyone else a more accurate representation of the actual depression per year.
The shaded areas in the graph are the confidence intervals. Those give a better impression. Not everyone knows what a standard deviation is so I'm not using them that often in the videos.
wow buddy - you answered my request - thanks - a lot - then realizing that Ford dealers are reprehensible with their markups so I walked far away.......I think people think these cars are better than they really are - just saying...........
more depreciation is coming...NEW top dog car is out...the GT500 AND GT350 engine is crazy expensive to replace and when warranty is expires, values will drop even more...watch
no its not, you also got to realize how good these cars are to
They will of course continue to depreciate, but the depreciation rate won't increase.
Hi, I will like to see Mustang Mach 1
this is my favorite car
*Which car would you like to see in the next analysis?*
Okay, I think good candidates would be 2014 - on Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, Porsche Cayenne and Panamera... All depreciate very heavily but incredible buys if one times purchasing right - that's where your analysis would be imperative! :)
I would love to see the analysis for a C5 but also one for a normal car like a civic or accord over 20 years then compare that to a f150 over the same period of time.
@Max Ivankov, nice suggestions. I should indeed cover some 'luxury' cars. Like you say, if bought at the right time, the depreciation can be extremely small.
Original suggestions. I didn't cover the C5 yet. You can however find the one for the C7 and C6 over here: ruclips.net/video/9wE5f2UWLgQ/видео.html
Great episode again ! Aston Martin DB9 would be very interesting. Thanks !!
Please do BMW M2 Competition. Thanks!
I didn't do a M2 comp yet, but you can find the analysis for the normal car over here: ruclips.net/video/-lnUKSLVNhU/видео.html
i love this
You found a way to make math interesting!
dang why am i seeing this 5 months after getting my 2020 5.0 :(
For the sky high 2019 & 2020 new prices I'm guessing those were not prices as sold...they are in no way representative of the market. How do I know? 10 months obsessing over it from 12/2018 to my delivery End of August and after. I ordered a loaded 2019 GT350 - every option....Window (MSRP) was $66945. So that loaded with every option MSRP price is less than your average...and I paid $2K less than that. ADM's did not exist for 2019's or were very rare. Its a tight community where we share information including ADM dealers (that are avoided) and reasonable ones. The point is no one was or is paying $70K to 100K for a 2019 or 2020 non R GT350 unless it was to an offshore export which is a red herring....and because of those high prices not being the real market price it would skew your results to exaggerate averages depreciation.
You are absolutely right, all the prices are advertised prices. Consequently, the average depreciation number is pushed up quite a bit by the drop in the first year. Looking year by year (with exception of the first year) probably gives the best estimate. I would love to use the actual selling prices but as far I'm aware they are not freely available.
@@fourwheeltrader re: "You are absolutely right, all the prices are advertised prices" Then unfortunately they are unqualified with respect to value & depreciation. Low prices advertised are often not honored (with apologies like it's a mistake) and few buyers are lawyers who will pursue bait & switch prosecution of these scammers and the other prices at the high end are not sales ever made at that amount....so value is what one is willing to pay for something not what some silly marketing schlub at a dealer thinks will work but doesn't. I think that a disclaimer would have been a fair addition to the conclusion part of this review because as you can see from responses here some people are not that critical of qualifying the data as they should be.
With high volume models such as the GT350 I don't see it as a major problem for two reasons: (i) the market is large enough to average out the extremes when it comes to the depreciation (ii) a general difference between the advertised and selling price applies to the whole market. Consequently, it means a shift of the depreciation curve along a price axis which won't effect the depreciation numbers. The true selling prices of course give more correct numbers, but unfortunately i don't have those. Therefore, i think that the advertised prices are a decent proxy. Nevertheless, it is my aim to present the data objectively and to avoid any misguidance. It is then also a good idea to mention that it concerns advertised prices.
@@fourwheeltrader All I can say is that the average price in this study was a lot higher than the tested loaded market price throughout last year for new MY 19's which begs the question of how useful the information on initial depreciation is. Likewise not factoring that newer models have desirable design adjustments (tires, suspension Gen 2 Voodoo as examples) that makes comparisons of earlier years a poorer basis for deciding how much later models will depreciate initially. Those are points aside from these being smiles per gallon investments not financial ones.
On it's face this looks like a good statistical representation however, you have to know the car! The 2016's need to be removed from this comparison. Ford didn't make the track pack with the magnaride suspension standard until 2017 which is a 6k+option in 16. The used market for 'like' equipped optioned cars would be much flatter. The unknowns for the future values are how the gt500s will affect the gt350s value as well as the increase in electric cars. I think with the uniqueness of the 5.2L flat plane crank and increase in electric 'sports' cars the gt350s will ultimately hold their value quite well.
*$40k Mustang to $115k Mustang thats crazy money to pretty much same car,little more power and some carbon fiber pieces*
I just bought my 2019 GT 350 R cobra at MSRP three months ago
Congrats! How do you like it so far?
Fuck that.... that’s almost as much as a 500
Weak Link rather have an r over the 500 but that’s just me
GT350 is for sure a cool car... But,
the Voodoo engine doesn't seem
to take well to being flogged.
In particular, the rod bearings are simply undersized for what they are being asked to do.
If you like DIY repair and have the means, it could interesting.
Though, I don't think most owners would like to get their hands in that deep.
Never heard of the rod bearings having issues. Do they sell aftermarket improved rod bearings?
You can beat them, you just have to know when.
Lots of guys guy them, cold start them and rev they to high heaven without letting them warm up, which it doesn't like.
They also tend to burn a bit of oil, but it's normal.
You don't get track attack if you buy used. How many cars go up in value right after you buy it? Anyone buying one thinking they'll make money are morons. It's an awesome car and being a 6 speed most people can't drive it anyway.
Value will increase once they stop making the gt350 next year
I bought new because buying these Voodoo engines used is a dangerous proposition. VERY FEW people can keep from hammering these cars until proper break-in after several oil changes. People rev and overrun these engines and ruin ring seal and they heavily consume oil. If you plan to keep it, buy it new.
The 2016 is a different car. It doesn’t have rear diff and transmission coolers. Why they were burning up. Anyone buying these cars knows that and stays away from them. 2017 to 2020 is a better scale to do. That’s why the 15s and 16s are way cheaper.
GT350 could use 1 quart of oil every 500 miles, that’s only 14-15 quarts between oil charges... 🤔
yeah and since they are basically RACE cars for the street..Im sure no preowned examples will be abused..Russian roullette is less risky.
Please feature generation 2 Dodge Viper GTS 👍🏻
Interesting suggestion. Are you in the process of purchasing one?
Fourwheel Trader - Car depreciation analysis I bought a low mileage one back in 2015 . I traded a 2008 Shelby GT500 for it
This video did not age well
The graphs kind of look like your money walking away.
Why Not include the R? I only care for the R
much rarer
@@beetleything1864 actually He had covered the 981 GT4, GT's Porsches. Those are rare also. There are plenty R's at dealers and they still bean made. Many classifieds miss label the R''s for base models, making them look like there are very few. There are plenty R's for sale on the used market a
JoTokutora i live in the super car capital of North America- vancouver BC. I have yet to see 1 anywhere. Seen plenty GT350s but no R’s yet......
@@beetleything1864 Actually the capital is South California. Plenty here
Definitely am interested in the R analysis too. Great job on the base car though.
GT350R
No more new gt350s. Would be interesting to see how the market is doing now that they are all used.
I’m sorry I’ve got to drive it! 🤪🐍
The only way to buy a gt350 is STOCK and with a WARRANTY
Audi s7 2016-2018
Yah good yes bacon pizza yah 👍
you have a Dutch accent.....Kan U look Nederlands praten?
Yes i speak Dutch :)
Aaaaaaand they stopped producing these. Worthless video now lol.
