How much should depreciation cost me      

The graph shows amounts for cumulative depreciation for 10 years for three depreciation rates: high, low and average. These are based on historical book values for used vehicles, which vary by model and make. Also, your estimate of how much you drive your car should help you determine which rate to use. For example, if your car has higher-than-average wear-and-tear, you should consider using high depreciation.
