Ebay is the largest interactive marketplace for autos in the world. You can't find a larger sample size anywhere. One may not like it, but likes and dislikes are irrellevant, as Ebay is a conduit for economic price theory....that is their business model and I don't see them going out of business in the near future.
And the depreciation rate that I use is not my creation....its the approximate rate used by banks to determine residual value on a new ZL1 lease....14.8%
This yellow one will be a good example to observe.....with auto, CF and RV cam the MSRP was approx $60K, cost of almost $65K with tax. The first owner already took the big loss.....probably in excess of 25%....I'll let you do the math.
