If I bought a used car, how much could I sell it again 6 months later assuming normal driving usage?

You'd guaranteed lose money because the car now has +1 previous owners and 5-10k more miles. The only exception is if you got a rare antique from a retarded grandma selling her dead husband's car

True, another short term owner will flag the car as a bit dodgy. "something wrong so move it on".

Varies from car to car, exact condition, mileage you drove, etc. etc. too many variables for someone to just spit you out a random number like "$4K" or "10%".

You can do the homework yourself by looking up used cars of the newest model year with similar low mileage and see what they're listing for. Or plug into KBB to get estimated trade-in-values. Trade-in value (what the dealer/Carvana/etc. pays you for the car) is always gonna be ~3-6K below what they list the car for, so you will never get the price you see advertised ("retail" price).

That said, sometimes you can come out not bad.

I bought a 2024 Mustang Egobukkake for 27.8K (there are deep deep discounts on Mustangs, you can probably negotiate an even lower price). I drove it about 13K miles and got 27.6K when I traded it in. I live in Califucklia so I don't get trade-in tax credit, so I lost the tax value of the car, but overall not bad to drive a new spurtscar for a year and trade it in.

Too much to make the experience worth it. You'll probably save $500 compared to leasing/long term renting if you get a sub-$5k clunker, but if you have to do ANY repairs then it's a total waste of time and money. You also get a much nicer car when renting/leasing

If I bought a $5K clunker then how much would I lose by re-selling 6 months later?

it depends how much you bought it for. If you bought like a $1500 used car, you may sell it for even more, because the price is just so low, you might find a sucker who would pay $1750 or something

If you get a good deal and clean it up you can make money.
I got a car for $2k years ago, cleaned the fuck out of it (removed tint, took off interior panels and cleaned / wiped everything, returned the exhaust to stock) and sold it for $4k after less than a year.
I bought it on the used car lot on base because the prev owner was getting deployed so it's not typical. But it is possible to make a tiny bit of profit, or at least sell it for what you got it for.

Prices don't decrease that linearly.
