Buenos Aires is a town with a current population of 13076300 inhabitants. Nevertheless, there are usually not many Ford Cougar for purchase on the market. That's why the supply is little and the demand depends on various of parameters such as maintenance costs, mileage, and brand competetivness.
As illustrated in the figure below, cars of the manufacturer Ford and especially of the model Cougar devaluate in a very average fashion. The average price of the Cougar will be decreased by up to 13% ($23,450) after just 1 year. After three years, the car typically is valued at 64% of its initial asking price ($16,619) while it will only be priced at 31% of the original price after 7 years ($7,599). The Cougar's value after twelve years is only 12% of its original price depending on its condition of course.

After that the depreciation slows down: at 90,000km the Ford Cougar is sold for $8,683 in Buenos Aires and for $4,424 at 180,000km .
