One can  only have "equity" in  property that is an investment, and
either  maintains or appreciates (Real Property) If that property is one
that  depreciates, then it is not an investment but an expense,because
the  depreciation will eventually equal the equity and there will be no
value  at all. Vehicles are machines, they depreciate in value and thus
any  "Equity" is eventually lost.

Vehicles are expenses, not investments,  depreciate, and thus have a
continualy declining equity, until there is  very small residual  value
left. Residual equity if you want to  callit thant. Such are the vagaries
of the marketplace.
