Audi A8

The super luxurious Audi sedan is a really popular premium model that charms buyers with its elegance, luxury items, advanced Quattro AWD, and powerful engines. In spite of the luxury and size of the A8, aluminum is used in building it, so this model is relatively light and agile. Because some time has passed since the current model was introduced to the market, depreciation is noticeable, just like what happens with other luxury vehicles. For a version with a short wheelbase and 372 hp engine, the base price was around $80k but right now, you can buy a 2012 Audi A8 for roughly $30k, and for the W12 model, you would shell out $40,000 or less.

Maybach 57/62

The Maybach is a real luxury car, an epitome of a lavish sedan, so you might think it’s strange that it’s on this list for having a depreciation rate that is among the worst over the years. Back in 2006, the base prices of the Maybach 57 and 62 S models were almost $400k and $500,000 respectively, which is just a crazy amount of money! However, because of depreciation, Maybachs cost about $50k right now and you can even find some with more miles at a lower price. Thus, a mid-size SUV that has nice options will cost you the same as a car which is one of the world’s most prestigious.
