In the context of new cars constantly facing shortages, the value of used cars is increasing. Recently, the market research and car buying consulting company iSeeCars, headquartered in Boston, USA, has just conducted surveys on the depreciation rate and the ability to retain the value of car models sold in the US after 5 years of use.

On average, each car loses about 33.3% of its value after 5 years of use.

Specifically, based on the analysis of sales data of more than 3 million cars sold in the US recently, iSeeCars has given the depreciation rate of car models after 5 years of operation. The survey and analysis results of iSeeCars show that on average, each car depreciates about 33.3% after 5 years of use. Compared to 2021, the average depreciation rate (depreciation) of each used car in the US after 5 years decreased by 17%. Mr. Karl Brauer - iSeeCars expert said:“The scarcity of used cars due to pandemic-related disruptions to new car production has helped used car prices hold their value better than in previous years.”.
