Help searching for a web site that lists all cars and models and their depreciation.?

New cars depreciate FAST. Like 20% the moment you drive it off the lot.

www.kbb.com is a great resource for looking up specific models. One could, look up each year, 2008, 2007...2000...1995...for a specific model, input to Excel, graph it, and watch the depreciation to find the 'sweet spot' as to what time is the best time to buy the car.

Consumers Reports is a great resource, though they charge for their on-line reports. They periodically do reports on which cars depreciate the most, and which the least.

It is always more cost effective to fix up your old car than buy a new car. Though, a new car gives you piece of mind in that you have less chance of getting stuck somewhere with a broken down car.

Edit: FOUND IT!!!

I have an answer....unfortunately I have it in my e-mail at work. If you can keep the question open until tomorrow evening I'll have an answer for you then.

edit:

There is a web site that does calculate diminished value of a vehicle after it has been in an accident, they charge $50 but are pretty accurate. You can get a print out of the Assessment Report. The web site is www.dvassess.com

You might be able to get to what you are looking for from this web site.

Classic Vehicles value is Based on sold prices, they go for what ever people have been willing to pay in the immediate past .

kbb.com will tell you the value of a specific car but doesn't have tables of multiple years.
