Several factors create this range in values.
Mileage matters most. Cars under 40,000 miles fetch $14,000 to $15,000. Models at 60,000 to 80,000 miles go for $12,500 to $13,500. High-mileage ones over 100,000 miles drop below $12,000.
Condition and history boost value. No accidents, full service records, and two keys add $500 to $1,500. Clean cars hold up better.
Trim and options help. AWD, premium audio, and safety features keep demand strong. These soften the yearly drop.
Location plays a role. Rust-belt states and tough winters cut prices. Sell in spring for more interest.
You can slow this depreciation with smart steps:
- Drive under 12,000 miles each year.
- Follow the maintenance plan. Keep all receipts in one spot.
- Repair curb rash, dents, and chips before you sell.
- Swap out worn tires and wipers for a strong test drive.
- Hold onto both keys, the owner's manual, and extras.
- Sell or trade before the new model year starts. Act while you have equity.
