Generally, a car on the other hand depreciates regardless of how much the owner spent to modify it. In some cases, heavily modified cars could depreciate more than cars left stock. Old muscle cars and exotics will appreciate in value though.

The thing is people today think appriciation is guarunteed, but it sure isn`t.
