FAQ
Which cars depreciate the slowest?
Trucks and SUVs with strong demand, plus certain reliable mainstream models, tend to hold value best. Luxury and electric vehicles usually depreciate fastest.
Why does depreciation matter if I keep the car?
It matters for insurance payouts, trade-in value, and loan gap coverage. A car worth far less than its loan balance leaves you upside down after a total loss.
Do these numbers predict my exact resale price?
No. They use typical category rates as an example model. Real value depends on mileage, condition, accidents, and local demand.
