Rolls-Royce Wraith Depreciation

A Rolls-Royce Wraith will depreciate 40% after 5 years and have a 5 year resale value of $204,676.

If you're going to spend one-third of a million dollars on a two-door coupe, probably the last thing on your mind is its resale value. Depreciation is for your accountant(s) to think about, and whether you can take it as a tax write-off. While the value decline numbers are large, and unabating over time, your average Wraith holds its value reasonably well, and performs better than most luxury and exotic brands-at least on percentage basis. With that said, the decline in value is about as stable as a Wraith on a cobblestone drive-slow and steady, and not bothering the occupants in the back seat.

The chart below shows the expected depreciation for the next 10 years. These results are for vehicles in good condition, averaging 13,500 miles per year. It also assumes a selling price of $341,810 when new. Enter your purchase price, expected ownership period and estimated miles driven annually. Our depreciation calculator will predict an expected resale value for the Rolls-Royce Wraith.

If you purchase a used Rolls-Royce Wraith that is 2 years old, then you could save $68,533 compared to buying new, and still have a relatively new model with plenty of useful life remaining. If you plan to keep this vehicle for 3 years then your total cost of depreciation would be $68,601. Try other age and ownership length combinations, or different vehicles to see if you can find depreciation sweetspots where this cost is the lowest. Hint: Try vehicles between 2 and 4 years old, as brand new vehicles depreciate quickly. Also, if this is a recently released model and buying a few years old isn't possible, consider another vehicle, or perhaps wait until more used Wraith models become available.
