Actually, I have the exact dollar amount paid at time of purchase (more)
It is in my logbook of the car. Dealer wrote in final price (including tax, title, all that stuff). Total price, out the door for a 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe was...:
$57,221
I am not certain whether this was MSRP, or if the dealer inflated the price, or if the original owner got a less-than-MSRP deal. However, you're pretty much right on the money.

My VR6 had 78k in 36 months.
Man did that car have its' problems though. Probably only had it 33 out of thos 36 months.
I am impressed w/the lack of problems to 15k so far. (Knocking on a big huge piece of Oak!)

Kelly Blue Book has current retail values for used Y2K TT's
Their value for a 2000 quattro, fully loaded, in private party sale is ~$28K. That works out to about 11% depreciation per year. If you assume the same rate over 10 years (big assumption right?), you end up with about $11K in value. That's no answer to your question, though. I think you wanted an opinion about what the depreciation rate will actually be in the future. And I have no clue about that.

180Q or 225Q?
and, the majority of depreciation takes place over the first two years, with the actually depreciation % dramatically dropping after that.
This is why the 36 month lease is so popular, it give one extra year for the dep/residual to balance out a little.
So if we took 11% over the first two years, and 2.75%(avg) over the next 8 years, we come up with a value of $20,749 after 10 years.
Assuming my calculations and depretiation ests are correct.
And this does not tke into account mods, limited avail in 10 yrs, and special value of TT!
