  2. 2Cumulative after 5y: ¥20.0w → ¥9.36w
  3. 3Ownership cost ≈ ¥58/day before insurance/fuel/parking

💡 New cars lose ~20% in year one — the steepest cliff in any consumer purchase. Buying a 2-3 year old car lets someone else pay that cliff. EVs depreciate faster (battery/tech refresh), while models like Toyota/Land Cruiser hold value. Mileage above 20k km/yr accelerates loss.
