I guess I need to be a little more clear. I don't mean what time of year.
This what I mean: After buying a new vehicle, what is the optimal time to own it before selling it? Since cars depreciate in price over time (and miles) I'm trying to decide when the best time to sell is. For example, after six years? After 100,000 miles? etc. Obviously, this would not take into account the condition of the car.

Spring is a good time to sell. Some people are looking for deals and the spring fever can energize them to get out and go looking. The new cars come out in the fall so there is usually a glut of cars being sold and traded in which can drive down the price of a used one.
You can use the NADA site as a guide to learn how much yours is worth. The dealers like to use Kelly blue book because it is usually lower than NADA.

I think 5 years, thats my opinion, after 5 years no matter how many miles you have on it. The dealer not going to give you third what its worth. My wife car a few years ago when we were going to trade it in, they only offer us 500 for the car the car had a lot of miles on it. We sold it for 3,000.00 in less than a week. Dealer doesn't keep car with high miles on them they auction them off. So if you buy a car and you have a car you were going to trade in. Sell it yourself.

The big dip is when you leave the dealership: your car has lost all the money you paid in taxes. You have to keep a car as much as time as it runs and repairs are reasonable priced. You can spend 1000 a year in repairs and you believe you have wasting your money, but in the other side you maybe paying 400 a month plus insurance for a new car and when you finish paying it, its value is the same as your old car.

Car values depreciate the most in the Fall because that's when next year's models start arriving at dealers.
