If you don't like the depreciation, don't continue to play the game. Buy a new Honda Accord or similar and no chance you will lose $10k per year in depreciation. We bought my wife a new Acura TSX a couple of years ago because the difference in new and slightly used wasn't enough to worry about, but then this was a $31k car new.

....or, buy a well-kept 3 year old BMW.
