Can I compare EV depreciation against gas-powered cars?

Yes, the skill includes a specific Segment Value Trends workflow that compares 'EV' vs 'ICE' fuel type categories for price and volume changes.

Does this skill support international markets?

Currently, the Depreciation Tracker is a US-only skill as it requires specific sold transaction data (get_sold_summary) available for the United States market.

How does the skill calculate vehicle retention percentage?

Retention is calculated by using the original MSRP as the denominator: (current_avg_price / original_MSRP) × 100. If MSRP is unavailable, it uses historical transaction data as a proxy.

What is the difference between depreciation and MSRP parity in this skill?

Depreciation refers to the price decline of used vehicles over time, while MSRP parity tracks how much above or below the sticker price new vehicles are actually selling.

Data Science & ML

Analyzes vehicle value retention and depreciation trends using real-world transaction data to forecast residual values.

The Depreciation Tracker is a specialized Claude Code skill designed for auto lenders, portfolio risk managers, and OEM analysts who need data-driven insights into vehicle value declines. By tapping into extensive US sold transaction data, it generates detailed depreciation curves, compares value retention across segments (like EV vs. ICE), and identifies geographic price variances. It provides a comprehensive view of market health by distinguishing between used market price declines and new vehicle MSRP parity, helping professionals set accurate residual forecasts and manage collateral exposure.
