Depreciation Insight
When considering how much a vehicle will lose over time, Volvo XC90 depreciation plays a pivotal role in determining resale value. Historical data and market trends suggest:
- Typically loses 15–20% of its value in the first year
- After the initial two years, depreciation slows to 10–15% per year
- Beyond five years, average yearly depreciation further reduces to 7–10%
For a 2003 model already 20 years old, the cumulative depreciation has likely flattened, leaving the vehicle at roughly 30–35% of its original MSRP. Because depreciation curves plateau for older luxury SUVs, you’ve seen a relative price stability in used markets. However, factors such as mileage (under ~100,000 mi), service history, and trim level can still push a vehicle above or below that average range.
What Is a 2003 Volvo XC90 Worth?
Curious about the current value of an older XC90? Instead of a single figure, we focus on parameters that affect worth:
- Condition: Newer VBU inspections, well‑maintained mechanicals, and little cosmetic wear raise the price
- Mileage: Models under 120,000 mi typically fetch higher prices than those exceeding 180,000 mi
- Trim: The Executive trim with advanced safety features (City Safety, Pilot Assist) commands a premium over the base model
- Region: Demand for SUVs in colder climates can affect price due to anti‑freezer safety improvements
Speakers often ask, “what is a 2003 Volvo XC90 worth?” The answer should be framed by the above factors. A well‑kept 2003 XC90 in good mechanical condition can be found in the $7,000–$11,000 price range depending on location and specific features.
