With its distinctive plinth‑shaped body and roomy interior, the 2006 PT Cruiser remains a favorite among commuters, road trippers, and collectors alike.

When you browse listings for a 2006 PT Cruiser or research the average used price, it’s useful to keep in mind the typical depreciation curve. The average Chrysler PT Cruiser depreciation trend follows a pattern common to many mid‑salary segment vehicles: a swift dip in the first year, followed by a more gradual decline thereafter.

• Within the first year of ownership, a new or nearly new PT Cruiser typically loses 15–20% of its original value once you incur initial depreciation and market saturation.
• Between years 2–3, the vehicle’s value continues to decline, usually at a rate of around 8–10% per year, as mileage increases and optional features age.
• From year 4 onwards, depreciation slows to roughly 4–6% per year, aligning the vehicle’s value more closely with its service life and repair considerations.
• By the time a PT Cruiser reaches 10 years of use, its market value often averages around 35–45% of its purchase price, depending on condition, geographic location, and maintenance history.

The depreciation figures above are approximations and can be influenced by factors such as a well‑documented service record, the condition of tires and brakes, and the vehicle’s mileage at the time of sale. Because of its cult status and nostalgic appeal, a 2006 PT Cruiser that’s been driven only 60,000 miles and maintained in excellent condition could fetch a price closer to the higher end of the market range.

Don’t let the raw numbers discourage you—if you’re curious about the typical Chrysler PT Cruiser 2006 price, it's important to look at neighboring market segments and similar vehicles. In most U.S. regions, the PT Cruiser competes directly with compact crossover SUVs such as the Honda CR‑V, Chevrolet TrailBlazer, and Ford Escape before the SUV boom, and later with older
