Awesome Luxury SUV's That Depreciated HARD

first of all let's make one thing very clear buying any car is usually not an investment especially when you're talking about fancy suvs they rarely if ever appreciate in value and as we're about to show you some of them hit the floor right as you drive them up a lot but it's not all bad news for those of you shopping for a new ride this means that you could buy yourself a real fancy suv for a fraction of msrp for example the first car on this list lost six figures in value in only three years and the last car on this list can be bought for only a third of its original price so smash that subscribe button and turn on the little bell because we're about to show you the suvs with the worst resale value and the best used car value i guess let's go anyone who knows anything knows that bentley is synonymous with luxury and their luxury suv the bentega is certainly no exception the bentega is packed with bells and whistles and watches let me explain it's got a tricked out nav system it's got a wireless charging pad and more importantly it has a 160 000 watch in the dash if you want to pay for it yeah that's right a six-figure watch in a dashboard of a car instead of buying your new home you could buy a watch for your car this is why people don't like the one percent this is basically the luxury suv equivalent of getting i'm filthy rich tattooed on your forehead but what really says you're filthy rich is that you bought a new bentega and it lost 137 thousand dollars in value in the first three years at least with the six figure watch you got a watch at the end of it but buying a new bentega you lost 137 grand and didn't get anything but a bentega out of it that's 45.3 percent of its original value lost sure complex luxury cars typically lose a lot of money when they're new but this is just outrageous now if you're looking for a bentega which if you're watching ideal media i can't imagine you are what's wrong with you what is wrong with you you're too rich for this channel we mostly make videos about cheap cars but if you are looking for a lightly used bentega go for the 2018 model it's when they opted for the hybrid so if you're gonna lose a bunch of money on a car you might as well win on some gas mileage right now the next loser on this list is an american all-star the cadillac escalade esv the cadillac is best known for its appearance in rap videos in the early aughts but it's a little more than just a luxury ride to throw some spinning rims on this american badass has a 6.2 liter v8 under the hood allowing you to power down the road with american authority now of course that v8 comes at a cost the escalade's gonna get about 21 miles per gallon down the highway and even though it's designed to look like it could survive a drone strike you probably don't want to take an escalade off-road but if american-made luxury and style are what you're after by all means escalate away just make sure you get a used one because in just five years of ownership these things have lost fifty thousand dollars in value that's right the escalade lost fifty seven percent of its msrp value in just five years yeah put that depreciation figure in your rap video next time buddy now next up let's go on a little depreciation expedition yeah the ford expedition is a super spacious suv with more towing power than an aircraft carrier well maybe not that much but 9 200 pounds is a hell of a lot of towing capacity and it gets that done by having a twin-turbo v6 under the hood that's probably a reason why these were used as cop cars sometimes and while ford hasn't really updated the interior on it since 2006 it is plenty spacious and will get the job done and considering its size and power the ford expedition actually has a decent fuel economy making the ford expedition a great suv for the guy giving rides to everyone around town the only time it will disappoint is when you go to sell it because if you bought a 2015 model brand new it has lost 57 of its value in just five years that thirty thousand bucks has gone on an expedition out of your wallet now if you're the clever chap who's deciding to buy an expedition today that means you can get them on a serious discount just look for a model 2018 or newer because it got a little update to the internals that makes it a little more reliable all right enough gas guzzlers let's get into something a little more electrifying with the tesla model x 90d terrible name for a car for those of you thinking a fully electric suv can't be badass think again the tesla model x paved a new lane for suvs powered by pure electricity and it did so with style the sleek exterior of the model x is consistent with tesla's futuristic design language and features a panoramic windshield and some flashy double hinged falcon doors and style is not all the model x has to offer like every other tesla it kills it with performance and technology the model x also gives you a taste of the future with standard technology features like autopilot and collision avoidance but just because they're so fancy and new the teslas are not unlike other luxury suvs their values too drop quicker than a new year's eve ball yeah the 2016 model x lost 86 000 bucks in just four years a staggering 58 of its original value this is probably due to elon musk and his boys over at tesla constantly packing new technology into the newer models making the old ones kind of a thing of the past which sucks if you bought it new but if you're looking at one on the used market you can get into those falcon doors for just 53 000 bucks and watch everybody's jaw drop at the panera bread whenever you open those doors next up we're going to infinity and beyond to infinity and beyond well beyond believable depreciation with the infinity qx70 although nissan has received some less than flattering press in the recent years and rightfully so with their outgoing ceo basically being a cartoon villain their luxury brand infinity has been a shining light in the darkness and the qx70 is a fancy suv with pretty decent performance numbers with a 3.7 liter v6 that lets it accelerate like a sedan and less like a super tall luxury crossover despite it having a curb weight that rivals the herd of elephants it actually handles surprisingly well with quick steering response and a low center of gravity that keeps it steady through turns despite all of its amenities its 20-inch wheels and its fancy-looking exterior the qx70's value also drops in a blink of an eye the 2015 model lost nearly 60 percent of its value in five years knocking 30 000 bucks off of its retail price luckily the qx70 has not seen many upgrades since this 2014 release so even buying the 2015 model today will probably do the trick giving you a super capable luxury ride for under 20 000 bucks and we ain't done yet no one does depreciation quite like the germans especially the audi q7 now audis have always had a good reputation for style and sophistication and the audi q7 does not disappoint you'll be hard-pressed to find a sleeker more stylish suv available on the market and under the hood the audi q7 looks pretty good too with a 3 liter v6 capable of generating 280 horsepower paired to an 8-speed transmission and an all-wheel drive system that'll keep you safe and help you turn on a dime or a euro i don't know what do they use in germany a frank i don't know and one place where audi really shines is their interiors they go all out with a swanky interior cabin that feels like a ritz carlton on wheels however the bad news with the audi q7 is that it depreciates like hell over five years the 2015 audi q7 lost 61 of its value from new that's 42 000 bucks just tossed out the window which i'm gonna drive behind you i want to catch some of that i need money the second generation q7 actually started in 2015 and proved to be far superior to the first gen with its engine updates and its facelift and the best part is is you can actually buy one of these second gen q7s for just 19 grand which is an incredible deal for that level of luxury making the q7 kind of a smart buy now you'd have to be a real dumbass to buy a land rover and i know because i did so i'm a dumbass so don't be a dumbass and don't buy a land rover and definitely don't buy one new now the range rover is probably one of the best known suvs in the world and for good reason with a supercharged v6 pushing these british buckets around from 0 to 60 in just 4.7 seconds and an interior fit for royalty that is tippy top when it comes to comfort and style with its plush stitched leather seats and wood trim the range rover is a ride lavish enough to have transported miley cyrus kim kardashian and even queen elizabeth but lucky for you you don't have to be rich and famous to get into the driver's seat of one of these iconic cars you just might need to be a mechanic the range rover depreciates so heavily that some of its older models are actually becoming semi-affordable now with the 2015 land rover range rover dropping 63 percent of its value in five years taking it from around 125 000 bucks brand new to around 40 grand today which means you can buy a lightly used range rover and look like a baller today on the cheap just uh know what you're getting into it's a land rover it's gonna break down a lot and it's gonna cost you all your money and then you're gonna have to start making youtube videos because you lost all your money and you need money desperately to keep your land rover running and then you'll eventually sell it and get a lexus gx470 and be super happy because that's a great car that runs forever i kind of want to sell my gx already liar don't buy a land rover buy a lexus gx470 have i made enough videos telling you that watch that video click up here buy a lexus now sure the range rover will snap an x everywhere you go because everyone will think you're rich but the bmw x5m will actually snap your neck because it's so freaking fast the bmw x5m is quite simply a beast rocking a 4.4 liter v8 that spits out 567 horsepower this monstrous german suv is built for power and when you have that much of it you need to have the running gear that's going to survive it the bmw x5m has a 115.5 inch wheelbase and a super strong beefed up suspension meant to handle all the power coming out of that engine now what do you have to do with a wild animal like this well you gotta feed it unlike the base model x5 which actually gets decent gas mileage the m edition gets a dismal 19 miles per gallon on the highway and if that's got you clutching your wallet and fear wait till you hear how fast it depreciates the 2015 m model lost nearly 64 percent of its value in the first five years that's 76 000 which might make you cry a little bit if you bought it new but if you're like me and you want one now you can be behind the wheel of this badass bavarian for just 43 000 bucks and lucky for you the x5m has stayed pretty much the same since 2015 so buying a used one is going to be a pretty similar experience to buying one today making it kind of a smart buy now the dumbest buy you could have possibly made in 2015 the winner of our most appreciated suv and winner of the most difficult to pronounce suv the 2015 vw tourig why did this volkswagen lose so much money maybe it's because what they named it it's too hard to pronounce so why would you want to buy one if you don't know what to tell your friends what you just bought and while this volkswagen might give you a headache with its hard to pronounce name it could end up saving your skull with all of its advanced safety features it's got a fancy post collision braking system to stop you from rolling forward and hitting another car after your first accident fate would bring them together through a minor mostly harmless fender bender but what happened next took them both by surprise the automatic post collision braking system on both of their cars engage the brakes preventing further damage from occurring and not only is it safe it's actually one of the best off-road suvs on this list and while it's great at climbing a mountain it's also pretty good at falling off the cliff of value in just five years the 2015 volkswagen touareg lost nearly 66 of its msrp or 44 000 bucks which is heartbreaking if you bought one but the upside is if you're shopping for one today you can pick up a 2015 touareg for about 20 grand now does it losing that much value make it the biggest winner or loser on this list you tell me that's our list of the suvs which have lost the most money over the last five years and i have a genuinely serious question for you do you buy new cars knowing that they lose this much money let us know down
