What happens to your car’s value after 5 years?
After five years, your car’s value decreases to 40% of the initial value. Our car depreciation calculator assumes that after approximately 10.5 years, your car will have zero value. Of course, you will still be able to sell it to individual buyers, but its market value will be extremely low.

The second method is estimating the initial value of the car. Let’s assume you were offered to buy a three-year-old car for $12,000. If you input the value into the “3 years” box, the car depreciation calculator will display the initial value of the car – in this case, over $20,500. You can now compare it to the price of a brand new car.
