Luxury Cars That Crashed in Value (But Will Outlast Everything You Buy New)

#luxurycars #cardepreciation #usedcars Depreciation is the single most expensive part of owning a luxury car, but only if you buy it new. This AWDCars countdown breaks down seven luxury cars that crashed in value yet are built to outlast almost anything you would buy new, using five-year depreciation data from iSeeCars and reliability rankings from Consumer Reports. We start with a warning: some luxury cars (Range Rover, Maserati, the Jaguar I-Pace) crash in value AND stay expensive to own, so they are traps, not bargains. Then we count down the smarter picks where the first owner already absorbed the loss for you: the Audi A6 and Q7, the BMW 5 Series and X5, the Porsche Macan, and the two Acuras that top the list, the RDX and the MDX. Every load-bearing claim is sourced. Depreciation figures come from iSeeCars and CarEdge; reliability standings come from Consumer Reports' latest brand report card. Numbers vary by source and model year, so treat them as ranges. Which one would you actually buy? Team MDX, team X5, or team Macan?
