FAQ
How fast does a new car depreciate?
The classic pattern is ~20% the moment you drive off the lot, another 10–15% in year two, then roughly 15% yearly with the rate easing as the car ages. A 30,000 car is typically worth about 12,000 after five years — half the damage happens in the first two.
Which cars hold their value best?
Trucks, sports utilities, and Toyota/Honda/Subaru models routinely beat the curve; luxury sedans and electric vehicles with fast model refreshes sink fastest. Condition tier in this calculator shifts effective age up or down to model that spread.
How does mileage affect resale value?
The market prices cars around 20,000 km per year as normal. Running 40,000 adds roughly a quarter "extra year" of wear annually, while a garage queen at 8,000 removes some. High-mileage discounts bite hardest on premium brands.
