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-July 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.

The Truth About The Warranty Expiration Notices You Get In The Mail
Today, I write to you as a pissed-off consumer. Actually, every day I write to you I’m a pissed-off consumer, because I have Comcast.

The Ford GT Rejection Letter Is The Saddest Thing In The World
The Ford GT Rejection Letter Is The Saddest Thing In The World
Witness beauty, denied. The rejection letters are rolling in. The new Ford GT is one of the most interesting and desirable cars of recent years. It’s a ready-made icon, but it’s still genuinely weird, from its cutaway aerodynamics to its questionably-super twin-turbo V6. Demand for this car is at a...

For $2,000, Would This 1969 Honda CB350 Have You Bellying Up To The Sissy Bar?
There’s something melodiously pleasing about the sound of a twin cylinder motorcycle, what with its putt-putt from da’ butt-butt. Today’s Honda is just such a small twin. Let’s find out if its sound, and its condition, make its price music to our ears as well. Honolulu Camry fans had a...

With its 16-valve engine, Mustang transmission, and sport gauges today’s Volvo 245 looks ready to haul ass. You have to decide if its price makes it ass-tonishing. Okay, so I know you saw yesterday’s and thought to yourself, cheese on a cracker, it’s another bike! Your palms got sweaty, an...
