Depreciation for average luxury cars is a half life of 3 years. That means in 3 years it should be half its value as it was new.

As far as when prices will "dip" significantly, I predict it will be when the minor upgrade will be announced for the car. For instance, because in 2000 the 986 received a small upgrade of a rear glass window and an "S" model, a lot of the market headed out to buy that, and the price for older Boxsters dropped as a consequence.

I read somewhere that throughout the year the price of cars stays relatively the same, because car dealers pay manufacturers way before a car actually arrives at the lot.
