Depreciation????
I was just curious to see how well (or not so well) everyone's primary vehicle has depreciated since the purchase of it. Here is where you can put in your info for your car:
http://www.kbb.com/kbb/UsedCars/default.aspx
...and I thought just to keep everyone's at the same level, we could select 'Private Party Value'. Here is mine.
Make: Acura
Model: TSX
Model Year: 2006
New/Used: Used
Mileage at purchase: 6,900
Price before TTL: 22,900
Current Mileage: ~28,000
Condition selected on KBB: Good
Private Party Value: $20,165
Not even $3,000!

2003 PT Cruiser GT
MSRP: 25,725
Paid: 22,500
70k miles and 5+ years later its worth $10,325
In the hole $12,125
That depreciation is spread over 5 years so technically its only $2425 a year. Maybe a better comparison tool.

UM.....YEAH.....
thats all good and well but just because a vehicle pricing website that is ALWAYS overly optimistic with their numbers tells you its worth $20,165 doesnt mean you have any chance at actually getting a buyer to pay that amount...
incase you havent noticed our country is in a recession, and the brand new TSX is coming out very soon. If you want real world numbers, go to a dealer and ask them what theyd give you on trade in...probably around 14,000. and private party? i think youd have a very hard time getting more than 17,000 in the real world.

Thanks for raining on my parade.
....AND, my parents just recently sold their SUV for what KBB suggested for private party (you're right about dealerships/trade-in's though). So yes, you could get that. I just thought it would be interesting to see what everyones ones.

I think this price would be WAY optimistic however. I would be surprised if I could get more than $25k for it.

I have had a 2004 TSX and now I have an 06.
For the 04 I bought it new and put just over 24,000 miles on it in two years. It was flooded and the insurance gave me $24,250. The BB value at the time was $24,---. My 06 was also bought new and is about a year and a half old ( 19 months to be exact) and it now has 31,000 miles and BB is only at $17,6--

03 CLS 6spd purchased new on Oct 4th 2002 at about $400 over invoice - $29.4K or so on a MSRP of about $32K and change...
72K miles and around 5 1/2 years of ownership...
Now worth about 10K in trade (if that) and 12-13K in a private sale...
I'm not going to check KBB again 'cause it depresses me

Not bad on depreciation I guess.... about $700 over 21 months.

99 TL, 06 E350
Cars are the worst investment you'll ever make. Live by that rule. It's even worse if you try to sell a modified car. I've kept my 99TL in almost excellent shape for about 8 years now. The car is trouble free and probably keep it for another 3 years. I am actually saving money by doing this

OK, I'll bite even though KBB is always overly optimistic.

MY: 2006
New/Used: New
Mileage at purchase: 146
Price before TTL: $42,500
Current mileage: 23,xxx
Condition selected on KBB: Excellent
Private Party Value: $34,335
So that's a loss of $8165 (-19.3%) in 18 months.

My girl is lookin at new Subaru Legacy 2.5gt's. Found a ton of new/used '08s with like only 6-8k on them and they are about 8g's less than if she bought the same car with 0 miles. it's ridiculous how they depreciate that quickly!
My cls6 is actually worth almost 2 g's more than i paid for it last october.
