Depreciation Overview
When considering used car purchases or resale, Kia Forte depreciation is a key factor. Like most mainstream subcompacts, the 2011 Forte tends to lose about 15‑20% of its value during the first year if it’s newly purchased, settling into the typical “first‑year dent.” Over the next three to five years, the annual depreciation rate aligns with the industry average, dropping roughly 5‑10% per year depending on mileage, condition, and market demand. Thus, a 0‑mile 2011 model might trade in around 60‑70% of its original retail price by the time it’s five seasons old, while a well‑maintained 80,000 mi vehicle might still hold 45‑50% of its original MSRP in the used market.
