The "appraised value" of used bikes varies a lot by location... The location could impact your formula, and each location has different hot items. For example, in my area a mountain bike will retain more value than a road bike or hybrid.

Remember that with bikes, typically any warranties are not transferable, so this impacts the value of recent model years more than things like a car, where the warranty might follow to the new owner.
