HOW MUCH I'VE LOST ON ALL THE FORMER SHMEEMOBILES!

EV Channels Review

Tim, from Shmee150, delves into the financial aftermath of owning 36 previous 'Shmeemobiles,' comparing their purchase prices, sale prices, and current market values. While the overall depreciation is a staggering £420,000 over 18 years and 53 cars, Tim emphasizes that the enjoyment, adventures, and memories gained from driving these vehicles far outweigh the financial loss. Surprisingly, only three cars—the Ford Focus RS, Suzuki Jimny, and Toyota GR Supra—have appreciated since he sold them, with modest gains. The video highlights significant depreciation on supercars like the McLaren 12C and AMG GT R, but also notes the surprising stability of some models like the Morgan 3 Wheeler and the appreciation of the Focus RS. Tim concludes that the joy of using and experiencing cars is paramount, even if it comes at a financial cost, and that his current collection, particularly the McLaren Senna, represents a substantial current value.
