They "depreciated" so much because the longer they were out, the more evidence there was that they were never worth that much in the first place.

consider it fell apart soon after a customers buys it, it probably is at most 20-30k at best.

they are design nightmares and not even in the cute Jaguar's transmission kind of way.

Ooo that sounds interesting, what's wrong with the transmission on jaguars?

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

it's more for older models where overengineering for ridiculously smooth transitions at the cost of greater wear and maintenance. Considered acceptable as a person who owns a jaguar likely owns several cars and it isn't a burden for frequent maintenance

People who can barely afford Jaguars learn the hard way that it was meant as a weekend car
