Everybody in f&f know u defense kimchi until certain extend... Ur calculation base on value are totally irrelevant..
Base on value, y don't u use a Santa fe or a sorento to compare wt a murano.. Those car sure drop less than murano...
Another way to look at it u may assume a company buy 4 units of the camry u mention vs the same company buying 5 unit of ur belove sonata... Both cases use almost same amount of $. So now who lost more?
Percentage is much more fair comparison and another thing not fair is when car getting depreciate until very low value, resistance are there.
+1...
Irrelevant in what way? Both cars are D-Segment and produced in the same year. Mid class D-Segment sedan (T/H/Hyundai/Nissan/Mazda etc.) is one of the famous comparison here. One of the fact is many people said they rather pay more for the overpriced Japanese brand because of resale value and now you want to compare these cars at the same price?
Don't bother to talk about your Santa Fe/Sorento to Murano comparison. You just give out a comparison that noone makes before/often. Is like comparing a Camry to an E-Class just because they are on the same segment.
Seriously, what does the percentage help you? When you sell your car, you think those percentage figure can convert into something solid? In the end you only see how much you get back and calculate the lost. Who cares whether is 60% or 80% depreciation if both cars loses the same amount of value in the same period of time.
