Car value is calculated using: Original Price × Age Depreciation × Mileage Depreciation × Condition Factor. Cars typically depreciate 15% per year, with additional depreciation for high mileage and poor condition.
Factors affecting car value include: age, mileage, condition, make/model, accident history, service records, location, market demand, and optional features. Well-maintained, low-mileage vehicles hold value better.
| Condition | Multiplier | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent | 1.00 | No cosmetic or mechanical issues, like-new |
| Good | 0.85 | Minor wear, well-maintained, no accidents |
| Fair | 0.70 | Visible wear, minor repairs needed |
| Poor | 0.50 | Significant issues, major repairs required |
Online calculators provide estimates based on general depreciation rates. For accurate values, check Kelley Blue Book (KBB), Edmunds, or NADA guides. Actual value depends on local market, specific features, and vehicle history.
Best methods: 1) Check multiple sources (KBB, Edmunds, NADA), 2) Get quotes from dealers, 3) Check recent sales of similar vehicles, 4) Consider local market conditions, 5) Factor in vehicle history and condition. Professional appraisal provides most accurate value.

Age depreciation = 0.85^5 = 0.4437. Normal miles at 5 years = 60,000 -- no excess, so mileage factor = 1.0. Base value = $30,000 x 0.4437 x 1.0 = $13,311. Good condition factor = 0.85. Estimated value = $13,311 x 0.85 = $11,314.

Age depreciation = 0.85^3 = 0.6141. Normal miles at 3 years = 36,000. Excess miles = 50,000 - 36,000 = 14,000. Mileage factor = 1 - (14,000 / 100,000) x 0.1 = 0.986. Base = $40,000 x 0.6141 x 0.986 = $24,221. Excellent condition = 1.0. Estimated = $24,221.
Value = Original Price x (1 - 0.15)^Age x Mileage Factor x Condition FactorEstimates a used car value based on age depreciation, mileage adjustment, and condition multiplier.

Original Price= The original purchase price of the vehicleAge= Vehicle age in years (15% annual depreciation)Mileage Factor= 1 - (Excess Miles / 100,000) x 0.1, where excess = actual - (age x 12,000)Condition Factor= Excellent: 1.0, Good: 0.85, Fair: 0.70, Poor: 0.50Car values depreciate based on age, mileage, condition, and market factors.
Well-maintained vehicles with low mileage hold value better.
