There are three things you need to know about the i8 market before buying one. First, the price development for first and second generation cars differ tremendously. Second generation cars decreased massively in price during the last years whereas first generation cars increased, hereby following the market trend. The depreciation effect in the second generation market was so strong that prices didn’t increase during the pandemic. Second, there are important nuances in the price development. In the first generation market the low mileage cars increased more than the rest of the market. This could be an indication that the car is getting a collectable status.
