Particular attention is drawn to the luxury car segment, where depreciation rates are staggering. High-end vehicles like the Mercedes Benz EQS, which once commanded prices over $100,000, are now selling for around $60,000—a loss of nearly 60% in value within just two years. Buyers of luxury vehicles, who may have initially splurged on high-ticket items, are finding it increasingly difficult to justify payments on cars that have lost substantial value in a relatively short time.
