    Given that the value of the bought car depreciates by 14%, its value is only 86% of its value from the previous year. With the known equation,

    V = P x (1-d) ^n

    Where V is the current value, P is the original value, d is the depreciation rate, and n is the number of years. Substituting,

    V = ($17,440) x (1 - 0.14) ^6

    = $7055.65

    Thus, after 6 years, the car would only be $7055.65.
