How fast price falls with mileage
Measured on the 2012 Fusion, the model year with the most listings, so age does not mix in. Between the 50–75k and 225–250k bands the asking price falls 63%.
| Mileage | Price drop | Listings |
|---|---|---|
| 50–75k miles | 14 | |
| 75–100k miles | 38 | |
| 100–125k miles | 77 | |
| 125–150k miles | 72 | |
| 150–175k miles | 51 | |
| 175–200k miles | 47 | |
| 200–225k miles | 38 | |
| 225–250k miles | 13 |
From the 50–75k band to 100,000 miles the asking price falls about 31%; the next 100,000 miles take off another 51%, so this car loses more of its value later.
