One has to know and expect right off the bat that these cars (and many that are upwards of 60k) will depreciate, and one could end up taking a bath if a trade or sale happens early. I do not think that the depreciation rate on the ZL is totally out of whack, as you would expect a similar rate with almost any domestic.

The saving grace with the ZL (as with some limited production cars, and high performance, muscle and the like) is that at some point the drop rate will likely bottom out, and with time the values could start to climb. You will not make any money, but the ZL purchase may have residual value and reverence from the collectible market after a good amount of time (maybe 20 years or more).
