It's interesting how people talk about "depreciation" of an item that pretty much never, if ever, increases in value.

But not all cars depreciate at the same rate.

For example for a few years Chevrolet Silverados were made with "cat eye" headlights. Those trucks hold their value far more than chevys with rectangle headlights, all other variables being equal.

What term would you prefer?

It is a very useful concept.
