    Default Most fun 15-20k/year depreciating car?

    If you were to buy a car right now, and sell it in a year and be willing to lose up to 20,000 in the year you've driven it (while putting on maybe 5000-10,000km on it), what would you choose? Or maybe drive it for 2 years and let it depreciate 30k...

    2008+ 997?
    3-4 year old M3?
    A fun roadster for the summer?

    Curious what you guys would do!

    That's a lot.

    Any 997 shouldn't depreciate that much at all.

    You could probably get a 991 within that budget. Easily.

    If you have a 20k/year budget for a car just lease something?
    How much was it new though? unless you paid over 80k you cant expect that big of a hit unless you buy anything Land rover

    15-20k loss in 1 year is huge but totally doable lol

    This. If you picked up maxboost's turbo, you probably could've broken even after a year.

    Just buy a $5K vehicle. Drive it off road like you stole it until it's done.
    More fun and you only spent $5k.

    But since he's specifically asking about $20k in depreciation....

    Buy a $5k vehicle, and spend $20k on a ricer bodykit

    As mentioned, $20k is a ton of depreciation for 1 year, especially on a used car.
    With that said, most fun vehicles are not going to depreciate that much; rather, they would hold their value pretty well.

    But then list on kijiji for $22K. Place the obligatory: "Upgrades are worth over $35K, can easily part it out for that" in the ad.

    20K depreciation, maybe at 2016 C63 AMG

    Don't think a 2015 M3 will come down that much in a year or a 997

    Panamera 4S. That's about ~$20K/year for the 1st 4 years.

    Pretty much any ~$100K car should fit the bill.

    A brand new Porsche 911 (base + PDK) is what I would get. And you probably wouldn't even lose $20K in a year. You could probably even get a better one like the 4S and lot lose more than $20K.

    Isn't that like $24k depreciation tho, surely ruins the value of your initial $5k car haha!

    Fully loaded Mustang GT should fit the bill
