Luxury Car Resale Values Dropping Almost As Hard As Crypto Values
Luxury Car Resale Values Dropping Almost As Hard As Crypto Values-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:19

2021 Mercedes AMG G 63

The bankruptcy filing of has sent shockwaves through the markets. The digital currency’s value is falling hard, personal net worths are also taking a dive. It’s even more apparent when it comes to luxury cars on the market. Crypto investors are selling their luxury cars like hotcakes and it could be affecting the resale value of the market, reports the .

Some of the most popular models that people buy up when they come into money like the McLaren 570S and 600 LT or the poster child for the rich, the Mercedes G-Wagen are all seeing more cars on the market at much lower values. The unknown head of a luxury dealer, user on Twitter, notedthat a 2021 G-Wagen with just over 3,300 miles recently sold for $187,000. While that may seem like a lot (it is six figures), he points out it’s a 30 percent drop from the nearly $300,000 figures G-Wagens were going for earlier this year.

CarDealershipGuy’s incoming messages are full of crypto investors looking to get rid of their luxury and exotic cars. And he’s not the only one, as multiple car-buying sites have seen an increase in exotic car listings as of late. Another Twitter user highlighted the number of McLarens that have appeared on .

Same with Autotrader. A rep for the site told the Post that listings for cars over $100,000 have gone up in the last three years. In 2019 six-figure listings were 0.16 percent. This fall they’re up to 0.69 percent. And as the crypto pyramid continues to fall, that percentage of listing will continue to rise. Crypto investors are panicking, and while they may not fully recover fromthat very publicshame, the damage to the luxury and exotic car market still has a chance to return to form.

While we're not quite willing to call this a full review, we did get some seat time with a couple of spankin' new models yesterday. We managed to get back-to-back seat time with both the 2008 and 2009 V6 4x4 Limited as well as the Hybrid for direct comparison on...

"Yeah man, that WRX is nice but it looks like it's had some hard miles. That kid put stickers on it, that makes me nervous. I don't know if I want a used car. Yeah, yeah I'd love a new one but that's a little out of the question right...

The lines that we like on the somehow fall short with the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen. The taillight assembly looks like it was tacked on to the design at the last minute and the grille looks more like the work of an overzealous orthodontist than what we picture when we...

You want a Euro wagon and don't have the stash for an Audi S4 Avant or the desire to stuff your friends in an A3. The question of how you're going to get all of this stuff back to your loft from Trader Joe's is a common one. Subaru? Nothanku....

Design touches such as the split A-pillar, metal-look skid plates and black plastic everywhere give the 2008 Suzuki SX4 a distinctive and tough look that unfortunately distracts from its sporty and capable soul. If we're being generous, the car is a triathlete, pretty good at almost everything. At least it...

The affluent neighborhood of Glencoe, Illinois is home to a curving street of -designed houses reached by a single-access bridge also designed by Wright. The black 2009 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen parked on said bridge couldn't be more incongruous to the surrounding Prairie School architecture, which is recognizable by the strong...
