The Best Resale List For 2018 Is Basically All Trucks And A Rally Car
The Best Resale List For 2018 Is Basically All Trucks And A Rally Car-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:51

When it comes to the overall cost of a vehicle, the sale price is only part of the equation. You need to factor in resale, and how much value your car will lose. Some drop slower than others, and according to , these 2018 trucks, SUVs, and an all-wheel-drive sedan will be your best bets to minimize depreciation.

The majority of this list will not be surprising as Toyota’s 4x4s round off the top three. Anyone that has ever tried to shop for a Tacoma, Tundra or 4Runner in the second-hand market will tell you how bonkers some of the used prices can be.

It is curious why the Tundra outranks the 4Runner, even though they have identical 60-month residuals but the 4Runner retains 65.8 of its resale while the Tundra is just slightly under at 64.7 percent. We reached out to Kelly Blue Book for clarification on those rankings.

Also interesting is that the ‘Yotas outlast even the legendarily-fanatical Wrangler resale. It’s not just a Jeep thing.

As for the other choices, the big trucks from Chevy and Ford are constantly in demand for used car buyers. Missing from the list, by contrast, are the half-ton offerings from Ram. You will see a fairly significant gap in the pre-owned prices on Ram trucks compared to the Chevrolet/GMC 1500 series and F-150 models.

The Honda Ridgeline is a nice surprise here, despite not being a “real truck” for some folks. It likely holds value thanks to its Honda reputation for durability. And of course, we have the WRX which is the only car to make the list, but sticks with the overall theme of how quality AWD/4WD vehicles maintain value.

Let's face it, the appearance of Alfa Romeo's Milano is an acquired taste. Today's Verde however, makes up for its looks - and honestly this one's not that bad - with a sweet 3.0. You'll need to decide if this one's price however,makes it worth acquiring. U.S.A. may at the...

AMC is presently where you watch the Walking Dead, but for those who remember it's also a long-dead automaker. Today's AMX may need to be brought back from the dead, but based on its price, will you recommend potential buyers should just keep on walking? Well let's see here now,...

BMW hasn't offered a manual in their U.S.-bound 7-series for years. That wasn't always the case, and in fact today's 733i comes from an era when the big Bimmer still let you row your own. Will it's price however, make you reject it automatically? Consider the luxury cars of yore....

2014 Suzuki SX4 S-Cross: The Jalopnik European Review
The new Suzuki SX4 S-Cross is a much larger crossover than the versatile but quite underrated original SX4. Since it's built in Hungary, it was my duty to test it for you even if , but I ended up with more questions than answers. (: I told Suzuki that although...

The big wing. It's the first thing you notice. It's like Subaru mounted a billboard on the back of the that simultaneously creates downforce and repels women of all ages. No fat chicks, fat downforce. This is not a car that will get you laid, not that it really matters....
