in which year does a car lose the most of its value \
It depends on the condition of the car and how often it has been used and how well it has been taken care of, If it is basically new it shouldnt lose much of it's value
Many have suggested that once a car has been driven off the dealership's lot, it loses 15-20% of its value. During the second year, it loses another 15-20% of the remaining value. Keep in mind that the car does not lose 15-20% of the total value during the second year, but rather off the remaining value.
It varies greatly with the car you purchase. A car such as a Hyundai, or Kia, will loose plenty the first year. A car such as a Honda, or Toyota will loose less. A Lexus will loose even less. Resale value determines how much it will loose. Also a luxury car such as a Cadillac or Lincoln will loose a higher percentage of value than an inexpensive car.
Yes, a new car immediately loses value as soon you drive it off the showroom floor. In the first year that you own a new car it will lose up to 20 percent of its value, and by the fifth year of ownership, it will be depreciated by over 65 percent. It's a horrible purchase to buy a new car.
if you drive it home, and then went back to the dealership the next day and used it as a trade in you'd lose about 20%.
The depreciation for a car will grety depend on the type of car it is,as some cars hold value better th others. As a general rue you will loose 10-15% in value once the car has been titled and is thus considered used.
New cars generally cost about $5000 more than the same car used. This is because new cars lose quite a bit of value after literally driving off the lot.
average miles on a vehicle is 12000 to 15000 a year. so a car three years old would lose value after 45000 miles - would gain value at anything under 36000 miles.
A secondhand Honda Civic varies in value depending on the make and year of the car. You can get more information about the value of this car online at the Kelly Blue Book website.
Sure you can, but odds are that you'll lose significantly on it. The dealer won't be particularly happy to hand out cash, so he'll probably assign something much lower than street value on your trade-in.
