Amend that to "any luxury car". If you aren't scared of the maintenance, you can get an insane amount of car for pennies on the dollar after a few years of depreciation. My S8 was an MSRP of over $76k, I bought it for a bit less than that once it was 10 years old. The cool thing is, thanks to the engineering that goes into a flagship car it is still nicer inside and better made than any affordable new car.

On the flip side, Jeep Wranglers have the most incredible resale value of anything I have looked at. It is a real challenge to find a decent Wrangler for under $10k, and the 4-door Unlimited models (2007+) are still $20k+. A brand new Rubicon Unlimited was under $30k in 2007, and they're still selling for 2/3 that. Crazy......
