Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry, 2013, vol. 29, issue 3, 208-223

Abstract: This paper presents a stochastic model for a car's value and its depreciation under random repairs modeled by a Poisson process; the usage functional is defined, and the optimal selling time is estimated. Exact or approximative formulas are provided where possible. The car's value is evaluated as an asset with negative return and paying random normally distributed dividends at stochastic times, which are Erlang distributed.
