@SebAaltonen @theficouple Suzuki Ignis seems to have even less depreciation. Do note I am cherry picking automatic budget cars. And it's the Netherlands, don't know how the 2nd hand market is elsewhere. (iirc, people import from Germany quite often since it's often cheaper)

[Harry Brasem @BrasemHarry]

@SebAaltonen @theficouple Those are all well over 100k km... Netherlands did have a lot of Covid inflation that may skew the numbers.

More expensive, less economic cars have faster depreciation.

But a 6 year old Yaris with 120-130k km in the Netherlands will still sell at the dealer for 70% of new.

[Harry Brasem @BrasemHarry]

@SebAaltonen @theficouple In Netherlands at least I can find the Suzuki Swift for 50% of its new price after 15 years.

Toyota Yaris doesn't seem to depreciate very fast either. 30% after 6 years.

@IterIntellectus There has been a population bottleneck before though...

@Nuevocasa @HareExcellentie @huizenprijzen Ja.

En tegenwoordig hebben heel veel mensen nog erg lage rente percentages die voor 20-30 jaar vast zitten. Tegen de tijd dat mijn 1,99% rente afloopt heb ik al 60% afgelost.

@Nuevocasa @HareExcellentie @huizenprijzen 130% aflossingsvrij*

@Empty_America You do realize Fury has tested positive in the past?

1.2 PureTech (wet belt) with over 500k km.

Car is already over a million km, but at this point the engine has been replaced once.

@Ananyo Why even do homework if you're not really going to do it?

@robbertleusink The poorest blocks in Detroid don't look abandoned, they are abandoned.*

Ik kan in Zaandam wel een paar huizen vinden in de staat van Detroit, in Den Helder lukt het me ook wel. Maar niet hele wijken, of hele straten.

@1stPlayerz I thought this was Drakengard for a moment

[Harry Brasem @BrasemHarry]

@Kaffeegreissler @GunterFehlinger Ehhh, there's not strictly a 100 km/h limit. Most places only between 9:00 and 19:00. The speed limit is not typically enforced either so in practice people drive faster.

A10-Zuid being a very typical example with a "90" speed limit but in practice the 2 most left lanes are 110.

@dietrichBonh @gummibear737 Will take longer than a "few" decades, and it's not going to be that drastic because most countries have similar problems. Many to the same or greater extent.

@marcosagusstinn Can you talk with the Dutch government? They're planning to tax unrealized gains by 36%...

@HaeckelGroyper We'd all be monogamous with a Gio Scotti in our lives.

@bernbirk @Axillia1 @hi_im_envy I'm not sure these terms are differentiated in the Netherlands.

Another benefit to wood framed houses in the Netherlands is cheaper foundations, which we need because peat ground isn't terribly great to build houses on.

@Tyler496 @Autism_Squeaks >in general is because brick wall keep cool inside

As someone living in the Netherlands I can tell you that's bullshit. A lot of pre-1900 or pre-WW2 buildings that are already ovens during a normal sunny spring.
