Market: bottom of depreciation, appreciation, and the BaT bump

Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG (W212) · market

Commenters repeatedly argue the 2012-2013 wagons hit the bottom of their depreciation curve and are now appreciating future classics, driven by growing US demand for fast wagons and scarce supply. Skeptics attribute part of the strong results to the "BaT bump," pointing to cars that stalled on AutoTrader then sold higher on BaT within days.
