French cars have always depreciated in value quickly, until French cars can improve their perception of quality, this will always continue.

Its the same reason to why so many here say they would never own a 'eurobox', many reasons are given and this will always continue until the perception has changed.

You certainly don't see many of the older French cars about these days, they seem to be the first to leave the UK roads after 8+ years, the quality and value just isn't there.
