You know the source of the retail, fleet and average transaction price. If?

I checked KBB cost of ownership and Camaro does hold its value a little better than Mustang, Challenger and BMW 230i. It appears all the Pony’s and luxury coupes/sedans take a pretty hard hit in the first three years. I’m no expert.

In this example I just selected Camaro SS coupe and it gave the Mustang and Challenger example. I added the BMW just to see how it looked. I made no attempt to change or add options.

FYI - you can look and the depreciation broken out from the 5-year for each and it looks similar
