Depreciation Insight

Assuming the 2005 Toyota Matrix was purchased new in 2005, one can think of its economic trajectory as a quick dip followed by a leveling off.  The first year usually sees a churn of 15‑20% in value—this is when the car departs from the “brand new” frenzy.  Subsequent years slow to a route of 7‑9% per annum as the vehicle stabilizes, paying a consistent “drop” that is typical for compacts.  Because of Toyota’s strong reputation for durability, the Matrix straight away gets a preservation of around 40‑45% of its original value after 7 years.  That means that a 2005 SUV that originally retailed for roughly $10 000 can still fetch $4 000‑$4 500 on the private and dealer markets after 10 years.

Key depreciation attributes that give the 2005 Matrix a good reputation include:

• Reliable engineering that has cracked no mechanical blues in the latest owner reports.
• Lightweight build that attracts lower service charges and easy insurance quotes.
