Depreciation

(v.) The act of depreciating, is lowering the value of an asset with a calculable value. This mostly refers to the value for old items falling as the demand for them wanes.
There is a lot of depreciation to be considered on the prices of cars where the manufacturer constantly changes the look. 50's, 60's and 70's Mercedes-Benz were almost unchanged, right down to the starting point for change- the headlights. This means that such collectors items are worth more (when inflation is added) then current Mercedes will be at that age. Since BMW likes to change appearance more often, thier cars depreciate more.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
