How the forecast is built
- The first year
- A new car loses about 20% in its first year — the steepest drop it will ever take.
- Years two to six
- The loss eases from 15% to 11% a year as the car settles into the used market.
- Older cars
- Past 10 years the curve flattens to about 6% a year; nothing is projected below 10% of today's value.
Mileage, condition, service history, demand for the model and rare-car appreciation move real prices — treat the forecast as a planning guide.

Your 5-year forecast
Pick the car and set today's value — we project its resale value year by year in Oman.
The forecast is YallaMotor's estimate from a standard depreciation curve and the value you entered — not a valuation. Mileage, condition, service history, demand for the model and rare-car appreciation can change real resale prices.
How to forecast your car's resale value
Enter your car
Make, model and model year from YallaMotor's car catalogue for Oman — the year sets the car's age, the rest powers the estimate and the cars for sale.
Set today's value
Type what the car is worth now, or use our one-click estimate: the catalogue's new price depreciated to the model year.
Read the forecast
Value in 5 years, the total loss and a year-by-year table and chart — with the rate applied each year, so you can see the best moment to sell.
When is the best time to sell?
The forecast shows where the losses are steep and where they flatten. In Oman most owners get the best balance between value kept and years of use by selling in the third to fifth year.
Under 2 years
You absorb the first-year drop for the next owner. Sell only if the car no longer fits your needs.3 to 5 years
The sweet spot: warranty often still runs, the yearly loss has eased to around 11–13%, and demand from used buyers is highest.Over 8 years
Losses flatten to under 6% a year, so keeping the car costs little in value — repairs and running costs decide instead.

What makes a car lose value faster?
Age and the first-year cliff
The biggest loss comes in the first year — about 20% — then the rate eases every year. Buying nearly-new skips the cliff; selling at one year takes the whole hit.Mileage
This forecast assumes a typical yearly mileage for the car's age in Oman. Well under that adds to resale value; well over it takes value away — the estimate above prices your own mileage in.Make, model and demand
Japanese brands and popular SUVs hold value best in Oman; niche models, big luxury saloons and cars with costly upkeep lose it fastest. The forecast applies one market-wide curve, so check the listings under it for what your model actually fetches.Check the listingsCondition and history
Full agency service history, no accidents, original paint and GCC specs can add 5–10% to what buyers pay — the forecast assumes an average car.Check a fair price
