You can think of it like this though New 30k CAR Payments 400 per Insurance Bump say 50-100 per month more Depreciation - at least 100 bucks a week for the first 4 years That new car cost is around 900 bucks a month not including maintenance Only way to determine the actual depreciation is by how long you drive it after the payment book is empty. Trade it before it's paid off at fair market value and you just took a high hard one in |

I leased my car, which at the time was perfect for me. I have an allotted 15k miles per year, and after three years I have put a total of 16,800 miles on the car.
Since the depreciation is set at the time of the lease, my car will be worth more than the cost to buy it outright from the dealership. It just makes no sense for me not to end up buying out the remainder of the car and then re-selling at a profit. |

I'm seriously thinking of selling the car and getting a scooter and a public transporation yearly pass. The ****ing oil companies can suck my dick and the insurance companies can take the snowball after I'm done.

CarMax lists a 2009 Kia Rio with 48K miles for $10,994. I didn't know new Kia Rio's listed at $35K.

As I mentioned earlier, we paid $10,200 for a 5 yr old Camry that originally stickered for around $25k. So that's what, around 40%? And it's a Toyota that generally holds better resale value than other cars. While I think 30% for a 4 yr old car is pushing it, it's not that far off. CarMax isn't exactly the best place to go looking for good deals either.

So exactly how are you supposed to calculate depreciation? When I figured up my cost per year I just spread the cost of the vehicle over the time I owned it, but that still doesn't take into account what I'd get for the vehicle when I sold it. But I don't see how you could accurately calculate depreciation without knowing what you'd get for it either.
