Depreciation for a Seat Ibiza 1988 price can vary but general trends help you gauge potential resale value.

• Year‑One Depreciation: Most compact cars, including the Ibiza, typically lose 15–20% of their original purchase price during the first year, primarily due to entry‑level depreciation rates and the entry of newer models.
• Second‑Year Depreciation: After the first year, rates usually slow to about 8–12%, as the vehicle moves into the used‑car marketplace.
• Three‑Year Window: By the third year, the value may drop a cumulative 35–45% from the original sticker price.
• Long‑Term Depreciation: After five years, overall value loss can approach 60–65% of the initial price, especially if the car has average odometer reading and maintenance history.
• Factors affecting depreciation: Mileage, condition, aftermarket modifications and availability of replacement parts significantly influence resale values. Well‑maintained examples in low mileage often hold up to or above the average depreciation curve.
