You will lose 20% the second you sign the dotted line for a new car. You will lose at least 10 to 15% the same time next year and 10% the year after that. That's why it makes so much sense to buy a three to four year old vehicle. The big depreciation hit is mostly gone and you can still have a great car for peanuts compared to new. Check out KBB or NADA -- pick out a vehicle and follow the retail value over a few years. It is incredible how much the value plunges over a three year period.what does $1000 customer cash mean in terms of buying a new car?

Depreciation on a "used" car would be different than new.The used car may not have depreciated at all depending on the type of deal you got. If you bought it under market value you may actually have positive equity. If you got a bad deal, you may have lost thousands instantly.
When you drive a new car off the lot it will depreciate depending on "what new car you bought." It depends on the markup on the vehicle from the get-go and other various factors. I'd say typically you would lose a few thousand dollars when driving the new car off the lot because the dealer will only give you what they could obtain the vehicle for at wholesale (not the same price you paid when you left the dealership). Again, that all changes though depending on whether or not you're asking about new or used vehicles, and what type of vehicle it is.
