Shanghai is a metropolitan area with a population of 22315474 inhabitants. However, it is hard to find more than five Cadillac Seville on the used car market . Therefore, the supply is small and the demand depends on a multitude of factors e.g. car model reputation, brand popularity, and used car pricing.
As shown below, cars of the make Cadillac and specially of their model Seville loose their value in a very conventional fashion. The mean price of the Seville will be lowered by 14% ($25,737) after only 1 year. After 3 years, the car usually is valued at 60% of its original asking price ($18,741) while it will only be worth 31% of the MSRP after 7 years ($7,913). The Seville's value after 12 years is only 10% of its initial price depending on its condition of course.
