About Car Depreciation
Car depreciation is the loss in value of a vehicle over time due to age, mileage, wear, and market demand. Understanding depreciation helps you make informed decisions when buying, selling, or trading in your car.
Key Depreciation Factors:
- Age: New cars lose value fastest in the first few years
- Mileage: Higher mileage accelerates depreciation
- Brand/Model: Some brands retain value better
- Condition: Well-maintained cars depreciate slower
Tips to Reduce Depreciation:
- Maintain Regular Service: Keep records of all maintenance
- Limit Mileage: Drive less to preserve value
- Choose Popular Models: Higher resale demand
- Protect the Exterior: Avoid dings and sun damage
How Depreciation is Calculated:
Most car depreciation is calculated using a straight-line or percentage method. This calculator uses the percentage method:
Current Value = Original Price × (1 - Depreciation Rate)Age
