Auto depreciation
« on: July 18, 2015, 11:43:34 AM »
Before I even start, I know the answer is "it  depends" or "what the market will bear". But let's take a little journey out on the hypothetical side of town...

You buy a new car, truck, moped, what have you, when you drive it off the lot people say it loses between 15-20% right there. Then maybe another 10% out so after the first year provided you keep it immaculate and drive it very little.
What do you guys think those %'s would be on a auto press? After install(driving off the lot) and after a year of light use(under 75k impressions)? Do you, or have you guys ever thought about this?

I'm not writing a research paper, or trying to figure numbers for a bank or anything, just one of those things I have always kicked around in my head.

Hopefully I'll never have to grow up and get a real job...
