How a Daihatsu Cuore loses value with age

On the fitted curve for the CX — the highest-volume Cuore variant, with 1,700 listings behind it — a Daihatsu Cuore loses about 9.6% by year 3 and 17.5% by year 5, reaching 31.9% by year 10. Year 1 is the 2012 model year, the newest CX on the market.

Of the Cuore variants whose curves reach depreciation year 5, Base holds value best, losing 5.8% by year 5, while CL loses the most at 19.9%. Trims are measured from their own year 1, so a discontinued variant isn't penalised for being older.

At 17.5% lost by depreciation year 5, the Daihatsu Cuore depreciates slower than the market here — the median model on this page loses 20.7% over the same span, so the Daihatsu Cuore holds value better than average. As a buyer that means a smaller discount for age; as an owner it means more of your money comes back on resale.

It depends on the trim. Across the charted Cuore variants, year 1 falls between 2012 and 2026. Each variant is indexed to its own newest model year on the market, so a discontinued trim starts at the last year it was sold rather than being penalised for no longer being built. Hover a point to see the model year behind it.

3 Cuore variants have enough priced listings to fit a curve: CX, Base, CL. The chart draws the 3 highest-volume of them; the rest are named under the chart title.

Year 1 is each variant's newest model year available on the market — 2026 for a trim still in production, 2020 for a Corolla GLi, 2019 for a Mehran. There is no showroom price in this data, so percentages answer "how much does this trim lose over its first N years on the road", not "how much has it lost since new". Indexing this way lets a discontinued trim and a current one be compared over the same ownership span.

Each of the 86 model-variant curves is a regression of log price on car age and age squared, fitted on 118,843 de-duplicated market listings, with depreciation forced to increase with age and the ends of each curve clamped to the age range actually observed for that variant. Switch on Observed medians to see the raw listing medians behind each line.

Not directly. Every listing was collected inside one scraping window, so a curve compares a 2026 car against a 2016 car priced today — a cross-section, not one car followed through time. With PKR inflation, a car you keep loses less in rupees than the gradient suggests. For your specific car, run it through the fair price assessor, which adjusts for its condition, mileage, and city.

These curves are national — one fit per model and variant across the whole dataset, not per city. City does move price levels (registration, local demand, dealer density), which the fair price assessor accounts for as a separate input. Treat the curve as the shape of the decline and the assessor as the number for your city.

The curves are fitted on age, not odometer, so they describe an average-mileage car of each age. A high-mileage car sits below its curve and a low-mileage one above it. TruPrice's assessor handles that separately: it predicts the expected mileage for a car of that age and model, then adjusts the fair price by how far the actual reading deviates.
