How Vehicle Depreciation Works in the US Automotive Market
What is Vehicle Depreciation?
Depreciation is the difference between a vehicle's original purchase price and its value when resold or traded in. In the United States, new vehicles experience their steepest value loss during the first 3 years of ownership.
Key Factors Influencing Resale Value
While compound depreciation formulas provide strong statistical baselines, real-world valuation depends on vehicle segment, annual mileage, maintenance history, and local market demand.
