From Million-Dollar Glamour to Bargain Classics: 7 ’70s Luxury Cars That Are Cheap Today

Jalopnik highlights seven ultra-luxury ’70s models that were prohibitively expensive when new but are surprisingly affordable used today, with current values roughly: Chrysler New Yorker Brougham about $9,230; Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL 6.9 around $30,200–$33,900; Bentley T2 about $13,500; Maserati Merak SS about $46,000; Aston Martin Lagonda S2 around $50,000; Stutz Blackhawk about $28,200; Rolls-Royce Camargue about $33,500. The drop in value is driven by maintenance costs, reliability quirks, and polarizing styling, turning iconic ’70s luxury into usable bargains for collectors and enthusiasts.

Five-Year Depreciation Drops 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S580 to About $123K

The 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S580 started at $185,950 when it debuted in 2020. Current data show about 34% five-year depreciation, with fair prices around $123,000 according to KBB and similar figures on Cars.com and CarGurus, making the Maybach less starkly devalued than the standard S580 (which has fallen roughly 47–50%). The Maybach’s rarity and badge likely help sustain higher prices despite general luxury-car depreciation.

Permanent bonus depreciation lures high earners into vacation-rental bets

Permanent bonus depreciation lures high earners into vacation-rental bets

Permanent 100% bonus depreciation lets high-earning investors offset much of a vacation rental’s cost against current income if they actively run the business and meet the material-participation rule. This has spurred a surge in pricey vacation-home purchases as a wealth-building strategy, with upfront tax savings touted as a big upside. However, depreciation is a deferral (not forgiveness), benefits depend on strong cash flow and market viability, and gains can be recaptured on sale or via exchanges; rigorous record-keeping and audit risk accompany the strategy.

Four-Year Drop: 2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Now Cheaper Than Many New Cars

Over four years, the 2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing has depreciated from a $60,390 MSRP to about $48,500 on average, with KBB, JD Power, and AutoTrader data showing current prices roughly in the $40k–$60k range as production winds down and order books for 2026 close, making a high-performance manual option cheaper than buying a brand-new model.

Foldable iPhone Could Shed About $1.3K in Value in Its First Year, Study Warns

Foldable iPhone Could Shed About $1.3K in Value in Its First Year, Study Warns

SellCell's analysis finds that a hypothetical $2,000 foldable iPhone could lose up to about $1,292 in value after 12 months (roughly 64.6% depreciation), leaving around $708. This rate is worse than traditional smartphones, which on average lose about $605 of a $2,000 device in the same period. If a foldable matched the iPhone 16 line’s depreciation (roughly 51.5–56.4% retained), it could sit around $1,030 after a year. Apple has historically strong resale performance, but a foldable could still underperform non-foldables. The device is rumored to be the iPhone Ultra, launching with the iPhone 18 Pro/Max around fall 2026 at about $2,000.

iPhone Ultra could be a pricey experiment due to quick depreciation

A resale site warns that buying the iPhone Ultra could result in substantial value loss in its first year, with foldable smartphones losing about 64.6% of their value and a $2,000 iPhone Ultra potentially dropping as much as $1,292. While iPhones generally hold value better and Apple’s 14-day return policy could offset some costs, the overall depreciation could make the purchase a costly experiment.

Mirai and bZ4X Slip in Toyota’s Resale Rankings

Mirai and bZ4X Slip in Toyota’s Resale Rankings

Toyota remains highly reliable overall, but two models show notable depreciation: the hydrogen-powered Mirai and the early EV bZ4X. Mirai resale has fallen about 80% in five years due to scarce hydrogen fueling infrastructure, with used prices around $10k from a $49.5k new starting point. The bZ4X, hit by late EV competition and a wheel-hub recall, has seen roughly 57% value loss, with private-party used values around $21,400 after three years. Kelley Blue Book still uses about 53% five-year value for Toyota overall, but these niche powertrains illustrate why some Toyotas depreciate faster.

Five-Year Drop: 2021 BMW M4 Depreciates by Roughly 40%

The 2021 BMW M4 has shed roughly 40% of its value over five years, equating to about a $30,000 loss from its original MSRP. Private-party values for the Coupe hover around $52k–$57k (base vs Competition) depending on trim, while Convertible models depreciate more. Real-world listing prices commonly range from the mid-$50k to the high-$70k, with negotiations bringing the final sale price in line with these depreciation estimates.

GT53 vs GT63: Is the V8 Premium Worth It?

Two 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupes in New Jersey present a price gap: a $43k GT53 with an inline-6 and 469 hp (21 mpg combined) versus a $69k GT63 with a V8 and 577 hp (590 lb-ft, 17 mpg), with the GT63 accelerating faster (0–60 in 3.3s vs 4.1s). While the GT63 is the more desirable and potentially better at holding value, the $26k premium invites weighing whether the extra performance justifies the cost.

Five-Year Depreciation Leaves Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio Near $43k Used Price

Kelley Blue Book data show the 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio has depreciated about 44% over five years, bringing its current resale around $43,000. By comparison, the BMW M3 retains about 83% of its value (roughly $58,600), while the Mercedes‑AMG C63 sedan sits at about 41% loss (~$41,400). Despite reliability concerns, used examples remain desirable and prices have inched up in early 2026; the Quadrifoglio was discontinued in the U.S. in 2024, yet demand persists.

Three tax-file moves to skip to dodge an IRS audit

MarketWatch highlights three tax decisions you should avoid changing mid‑year to prevent IRS glitches: the order of names on a joint return for married couples, how you handle depreciation and carryforwards, and who claims dependents (with Form 8332 for transfers). The piece stresses keeping these items consistent and well-documented to reduce the chances of notices or audits, while noting there are legitimate changes when properly documented.

GR Supra's Five-Year Value: About 23% Depreciation and Still in the Mix

Jalopnik analyzes depreciation for the 2021 GR Supra, finding roughly a 23% loss over five years (CarEdge 23.06% with resale near $45,667 from a $59,354 new price; iSeeCars ~23.9%), with Autotrader listings showing typical five-year prices in the $40k–$50k range. The Supra performs competitively in its class, though peers vary: the Z4 can see around 40% depreciation for soft-top versions, the Porsche 718 Cayman may depreciate less (~17% per KBB), and the Jaguar F-Type can fall by about 50% over five years. Engine choice (255 hp 2.0L vs 382 hp 3.0L) also affects value.

iPhone 17 Pro Max Climbs to No. 1 in Trade-In Rankings

SellCell data shows the iPhone 17 Pro Max has become the most traded-in smartphone, accounting for 11.5% of top-20 trade-ins by early February (up from 5.1% in late November). Most traded units are in mint or good condition. The 17 Pro Max depreciates about 7% less than the iPhone 16 Pro Max over 145 days, translating to roughly $95 more retained value, while mint-condition units average about $967.50 in resale. The top-20 devices represent about 47% of trade-in activity, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max also remaining prominent. The trend suggests strong resale pricing amid broader economic factors.

Off-Lease EV Surge Could Flood U.S. Market with Cheap Used Cars

A wave of off-lease EVs is about to hit the U.S. market thanks to IRA-driven subsidies and aggressive lease deals that made EVs cheap to lease; as 24–36 month leases expire, used-EV supply will surge, depressing prices in the near term with a peak around 2028, though the batteries typically hold up well and the glut could ultimately expand affordable EV adoption.
