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-December 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.

For $4,500, Could This 1996 Chevy Corvette Be Worth The Gamble?
Today’s C4 ‘Vette is described as having ONE MILE on a set of rebuilt heads. It has a LOT more than that in total, and a kind of sketchy history, but will its price make it all worthwhile? Fully 60-percent of you were not onboard with the seller’s price for...

For $12,000, How About This Amazing 1970 VW Custom Coffin?
It’s been said that it’s not the cough that carries you off, but the coffin they carry you off in. You might get carried off with today’s custom Vee-Dub, but will its price still bury its chances? Have you ever spent an inordinate amount of time trying to decipher the...

At $24,995, Could The Seller Of This 1978 Cadillac Seville Elegante Be Serious?
The seller of today’s Seville calls it a “no hit car” indicating an accident-free existence. It’s got low miles and high class, but will its price prove a hit with you? You say tomato and I say tomato, you say kit car and I say component car… let’s call the...

The Fiat 124 Spider Is The Ultimate Italian-American Car
The Fiat 124 Spider Is The Ultimate Italian-American Car
You may not look at the Mazda Miata-based and say, “Viva l’italia!” But why would you? It’s a Japanese car sold by an Italian-American company. But when I drove one for the first time, something strange happened. I think I found the automotive embodiment of myself: energetic, easy to beat...

What The 2017 Porsche 911 GTS Is Missing Is Fun
You have high expectations for an “enthusiast-spec” Porsche, and the lives up to a lot of them. Hell, it steps to twice the speed limit in as long as it took you to read this introduction. But for all its power and precision, the car doesn’t have much personality. (:...

For $20,000, Could This 1983 Bremen Sebring Totally Raise The Roof?
You’ve heard of Quattroportes and Monopostos but how about a monoporte? Today’s Bremen Sebring lets you pop its top to get inside. Let’s see if this rare component car should have buyers popping for its price. On first pass, forty-five hundred for yesterday’s seemed like a slam dunk. Then reality...
