MAKE SENSE OF THE NUMBERS

An older model year changes more than the price.

A price gap is not a depreciation rate

These prices compare different vehicles on the market. An older model year may offer a lower asking price, but mileage, equipment and the mix of listings also change.

Condition needs its own check

History, equipment and physical condition can change the value of an individual car. A model-year median cannot confirm any of them.

Mileage is part of the comparison

Open a model year above to compare asking prices within odometer groups. A small sample can change noticeably with a single listing; missing mileage is excluded.

What the Chevrolet Monte Carlo depreciation curve means for buyers

Do older model years always cost less?

$18,995
2006 typical
− $8,973
the 2002 premium

112% more than the 2006

No — here the direction reverses. Every older model year we can price asks more than the 2006, so read this table as a collector market: scarcity and configuration outweigh age, and buying older is not a discount.

Chevrolet Monte Carlo value & depreciation questions

Answers grounded in the data shown here.

Which Chevrolet Monte Carlo model year is cheapest?

The 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo is the most affordable model year we track, typically listed at $6,450. Compare every year in the table above.

How many Chevrolet Monte Carlo model years can I compare here?

This depreciation curve covers 11 model years, from 1985 to 2007, each priced from dealer listings in the November 1, 2026 snapshot.

Is this a forecast of my car's resale value?

No. These are dealer asking prices for different vehicles in a dated snapshot. They do not measure the value lost by one car over time, original MSRP depreciation, or final transaction prices.

How does mileage affect Chevrolet Monte Carlo asking prices?

Open a model year to see its available odometer groups, asking prices and listing counts. Mileage is the distance recorded on the odometer. Price differences also reflect condition, trim and equipment; sparse groups are labelled separately.

OPEN ABOUT THE EVIDENCE

Where these numbers come from

Compiled by VinAssessment from dealer listing data. Prices shown are asking prices, not completed transactions.

Market & currency
United States · USD · all available trims
Data snapshot
November 1, 2026
Typical price
Median asking price per model year, or the average when the median is unavailable. The price basis is labelled on each row.
Price range
25th–75th percentile: the middle half of the listing sample, not a confidence interval. Missing ranges are not estimated.
Coverage
11 qualifying model years with at least 10 listings each. Headline price-gap calculations require at least 25 listings per year. Gaps in data do not establish a generation change.
Mileage groups
Only positive, usable odometer readings. Groups with fewer than 5 listings are observations, not dependable market estimates. Reported odometer readings do not verify actual lifetime mileage.
What is not measured
Original MSRP loss, future resale value, or a guaranteed price for an individual VIN.
