How is this future value estimated?
We apply a make-and-body depreciation curve to a representative new price. Real resale prices vary with condition, mileage, spec and the market — treat these as estimates, not a quote.
Estimates only — not financial advice. Figures use representative pricing and generalised depreciation; verify with a registered dealer or finance provider.
