Affordability for used cars has tightened: a recent iSeeCars analysis puts the average price of a three-year-old used vehicle at about $33,000, up as depreciation dips and demand remains high. What used to be a sweet spot—low mileage, lease-returned cars—now costs more, pushing budget shoppers toward older, higher-mileage models that may still offer newer safety features.
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.
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.
iSeeCars analyzed over 200,000 vehicle sales to determine which states have the most and fewest sports cars on the road, and what is the most popular sports car in each state. Nevada has the most sports cars on the road, followed by Arizona in second. The Dodge Challenger is the most popular sports car in 36 states, including Ohio, while the Ford Mustang is the most popular in the remaining 14. Sports cars account for just 2.5% of American drivers, and Ohio is pretty middle-of-the-pack, coming in 29th out of the 50 U.S. states.
