Residual value of a used car after depreciation completed

Post by Seasider4374 »

So, two and half years ago I bought a used car that I use(d) 50-50 between personal and business use. And so for tax 2024 I can depreciate the vehicle for it's final 6 months' of business use.

I believe I can't depreciate the cars value to zero, but what is the limit of a used cars residual value? 1yen, 10yen, 100yen, 1000yen?
