Formula:
The Car Deprecation & Resale Value Predictor uses a multi-factor model to estimate a vehicle's future worth. While specific formulas vary, a simplified representation considers:
Estimated Resale Value = (Purchase Price × (1 - Initial Depreciation Rate) × (1 - Annual Depreciation Rate)(Years Owned - 1)) ± Adjustments (Mileage, Condition)
Where:
- Purchase Price: The original amount paid for the vehicle.
- Initial Depreciation Rate: The significant value loss in the first year.
- Annual Depreciation Rate: The percentage value loss in subsequent years.
- Years Owned: The total number of years the car has been owned.
- Adjustments: Factors like higher or lower mileage and overall car condition impact the final value.
