New cars depreciate a lot faster than used vehicles will. It is projected that a car will depreciate about 20% in the first two years, and 15% for the next five years.
Used trucks retain their values compared with that of cars. Trucks do depreciate in value though.
All cars depreciate from day one. In my life I have probably run across 2 cars that never depreciated. They all depreciate, and then some hit bottom, and come back. The muscle cars are a very good example of this. They depreciated. They sold new for 4-7k, and then at one point in time, you could purchase one for $500! and now some of them are worth an upwards of half of a million!
Insurance companies don't depreciate cars directly, cars depreciate themselves. Much like houses, cars can go up and down in value over time. But unlike houses, cars tend to go down in value the older they get and usually will not increase in value unless the owner cutomizes the car themselves considerably. If a car is totalled in the event of a crash, the insurance company usually will give the current market value for your zip code BASED on the condition of the car before it was crashed. This is why whenever you purchase insurance the broker or insurance company will take photos of your car. So in case you have any substantial damage, such as a dented bumper, you will be given the book value of your type of car with a dented bumper in it.
Probably only about 25% or less than you paid for it. Computers depreciate in value faster than cars.
The value of the car will depreciate as soon as you drive it off the lot. Less spending made the value of many stocks depreciate.
Absolutely not. In fact, it may be one of the worst investments you can make. As it is that cars can only depreciate, the worst thing you can do is drive a new one off the lot, where the thing will depreciate a few thousand dollars before you even get it home.
