Non-EV brand and mileage estimates are illustrative legacy heuristics, not verified appraisals.
Vehicle depreciation scenarios
Depreciation is the change in vehicle value. Actual resale value depends on local market conditions, mileage, condition, model, battery health and available offers.
Electric vehicles
Enter a current market value from comparable listings or a valuation quote and an annual depreciation scenario. Future value = current market value × (1 − annual rate / 100) raised to the number of future years. The example rate of 15% is an assumption, not a market forecast. No universal EV penalty or brand rate is applied.
Other vehicle types
The legacy brand, condition and mileage adjustments are illustrative heuristics, not verified market valuations. Do not use them as an appraisal or tax valuation.
Limitations
Scenario results exclude operating costs, financing and taxes. Historical annual values cannot be reconstructed from a single current quote. A vehicle can appreciate; the entered depreciation scenario models rates from 0% to 100% only.
