Mercedes CL-Class
The CL series really thought that it had struck gold with this GT vehicle fitted with a new level of engine design, becoming a flashy new member of the Mercedes family. Its industry-leading opulence and lofty interior also went a long way to inspire potential buyers, leading to a total launch cost of almost $100k. Little did everyone know that in time, the CL 500 would suffer a depreciation to the point where those seeking the luxury car experience can grab one at about a quarter of its original price.

BMW 5 Series
While you cannot hope to attain a first-hand BMW 5 series without a considerable amount of savings, you can expect to see its worth collapse after just a year of ownership with an 18% depreciation. This is a highly efficient car for a BMW, however, fitted with a 2.0L, 4-cylinder, 248 hp engine. Another strange move for BMW was how it sacrificed opulence for efficiency. Those who have owned a series for more than three years will suffer a 52.6% depreciation. Keep your eyes peeled for a second-hand 5 series selling at about $30,846.
