In about three years it may be worth around $24,180 — it keeps roughly 62% of its value.
Roughly $3,536 — about 9% of what you paid. The steepest part of a car's value drop happens early, which is why buying at a fair price and saving a solid down payment matters most up front. A national-average guide, not a quote.
A common starting point is about 20% of the price up front — for this car that's roughly $7,519. Put away about $145 a week and your car fund is ready in a year.
Figure on about $2,100 a year to keep it moving — fuel for around 12,000 miles of driving. It's a national-average guide, not a quote: your real cost depends on local prices and how far you drive.
Around $19,716 over three years — the roughly 62% of its value it keeps means it only loses part of what you paid, and that drop plus about $2,100 a year to run is the real cost of owning it. A national-average guide, not a quote.
Around $29,236 over five years — many owners keep a car about this long. It may be worth roughly $18,860 by then (about 48% of its value), and that drop plus about $2,100 a year to run is what owning it really costs. A national-average guide, not a quote.
Spread over the three years you own it, that works out to about $548 a month, all in — the value it loses plus what it costs to run. A simple way to see if it fits your budget. A national-average guide, not a quote.
Spread across the three years you own it, that's about $126 a week, all in — the value it loses plus what it costs to run. Handy if you think about money week to week, the way a car fund grows. A national-average guide, not a quote.
About 18¢ a mile — the roughly $2,100 a year to keep it moving, spread over around 12,000 miles of driving. Handy if your commute is much shorter or longer than average. A national-average guide, not a quote.
About 55¢ a mile, all in — the roughly $19,716 it costs to own over three years, spread across around 36,000 miles of driving. That's the value it loses plus what it costs to run, so it's a good bit more than the 18¢ a mile just to keep it moving. A national-average guide, not a quote.
