You can charge depreciation. But once you declared it held for sale, you can't charge depreciation. Loss will reduce because any depreciation will reduce the life and value of asset. But there is a criteria to dispose an asset. Lower of cost or fvlcs. That means if you arranged to sell at 20,000 market price or fvlcs, the cost of the vehicle is 30,000, but you could only get 15000 for it, then what is the loss? 5000. After depreciation, if the car value is 15000 and this is called cost value, there is no loss.
