Determine the annual depreciation rate of the car.

Calculate the total depreciation.

The total depreciation is given by the formula:
\[ \text{Total Depreciation} = \text{Initial Value} - \text{Expected Value} = 48500 - 16000 = 32500 \]

Calculate the annual depreciation rate.

The annual depreciation rate is calculated as:
\[ \text{Annual Depreciation Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Depreciation}}{\text{Years}} = \frac{32500}{10} = 3250 \]

The annual depreciation rate is \(\boxed{3250}\) dollars per year.

The annual depreciation rate is \(\boxed{3250}\) dollars per year.
