Pertanyaan yang sering diajukan
Why do new cars depreciate so fast?
Dealer markup (10–15%), taxes, and the "new car smell premium" vanish instantly. Year 2–5 depreciation slows as you're past the initial shock.
How does mileage affect depreciation?
High-mileage cars (> 15k miles/year) depreciate faster. Standard is 12k/year. Each 1k extra miles reduces value ~$100–150 depending on vehicle.
Do EV batteries affect resale?
Yes. Battery degradation concerns and unknown long-term costs make EVs depreciate faster. A 2018 EV in 2024 may lose value to buyer uncertainty about 200k-mile reliability.
