How fast price falls with mileage
Measured on the 2012 Versa, the model year with the most listings, so age does not mix in. Between the 50–75k and 200–225k bands the asking price falls 49%.
| Mileage | Price drop | Listings |
|---|---|---|
| 50–75k miles | 10 | |
| 75–100k miles | 21 | |
| 100–125k miles | 31 | |
| 125–150k miles | 33 | |
| 150–175k miles | 32 | |
| 175–200k miles | 10 | |
| 200–225k miles | 10 |
From the 50–75k band to 100,000 miles the asking price falls about 20%; the next 100,000 miles take off another 36%, so this car loses more of its value later.
