Depreciation curve
We class the McLaren 650S as a luxury flagship & exotic in our 12-tier model, which puts its retention at roughly 52% after three years and 35% after five. Flagship saloons and exotics shed value brutally once the first owner is done. Some halo cars (911, certain AMG and M cars) beat this curve and carry per-model overrides.
