I have no idea how they come up with that, but aparently the Yeti lost 13% of its value in the first year.

No doubt, some Yeti's gained value.

Its Parkers. I wouldn't worry about it.

What are Glass's and CAP saying. That's more important.

Well! comparing the prices being asked on Autotrader by the trade for used ones to the new book prices, there seems to be s#d all difference. That sounds BS to me.

That's not bad considering new cars bought last year lost 17.5% (now 20% VAT) as soon as they are registered.

So is that effectively a 4.5% rise in the value? :p

I assume that depreciation is based on the RRP, so given that I got our Yeti with a 12% discount means I've had an almost depreciation free year!
