    Note: for some I assume you paid with cash or received cash…if you haven’t, then you could use AR and AP instead.

    What happened to the vehicle? Did you sell it? Just take it to a garbage lot?

    There is most likely accumulated amortization on it.

    So, the JE is:

    Dr. Accumulated Amortization (Depreciation)
    Cr. Vehicle.

    If you got cash from it, you debit that. And the net balance is just a plug (loss for a debit, gain if it's a credit... note, you will only have a gain if you received something for the car... either cash or something else).



    EXAMPLE:

    You bought a car 10 years ago for $20,000. You have depreciation of 18,000 on it….now you just threw it away.

    Dr. Accumulated Amortization 18,000
    Dr. Loss 2,000
    Cr. Car 20,000
