Do you factor in depreciation when buying vehicles?

Just curious...when you look at purchasing vehicles, is depreciation something that you factor into your buying decisions? If so, how much of a factor is it...a small part or a big part of your ultimate purchase decision?

Usually my intention is to drive my cars until they can't be repaired any more . . . so depreciation isn't a problem for me.

The alloys on my Hyundais are worth more than the whole car.

Nope. I buy new, sell at a loss and enjoy the sh1t out of the money I spent.
