Hmmm. Well, value depends on whether you're buying, selling, or using them.
My Audi's resale "value" has been about the same as an M3 for the last 8 of
its 18 years.  Both M3 and Audi still work nicely, and maintenance for
either costs more than buying something else new. I've put more miles on the
Audi...
