DepreciMate

DepreciMate helps buyers and owners estimate the real-world depreciation curve of a specific vehicle (trim, mileage, region) and compare it against alternatives. You enter a VIN or select make/model/trim, then the app shows expected value over 6, 12, 24, and 36 months, plus the “cost to own” impact of depreciation versus fuel, insurance, and maintenance. It flags high-risk factors that accelerate value loss (fleet history, accident signals, unpopular colors, oversupply in your ZIP, rapid model refreshes). The app is brutally practical: it tells you when a deal is not actually a deal because the car will bleed value. It also helps current owners decide whether to sell now or hold, using local market trends and seasonality. This is a web app + mobile app, and it’s a combination traditional + AI app (AI for explanations and risk flags, not magical pricing).
