10 Worst Cars
Which vehicles have the worst resale value? That’s what we’re gonna find out. I’m gonna share the top 10 Cars that Declined in value the fastest so that you’ll know which vehicles you will lose the most and the least amount of money on.
The information comes from ISee Cars, the reputable car-buying website, which analyzed over 1 million vehicles sold for this survey. So let’s start off with the 10 vehicles that have the best resale value.
Toyota Corolla
Number 10 spot on the list, we have the Toyota Corolla. According to the survey, the Toyota Corolla only loses around 24.5% of its value over the first five years of ownership, which is the equivalent of around $5,800.
And this one is really no surprise. The Corolla has long been one of the most reliable and economical small cars that you can buy, and it’s extremely desirable to buy both brand new and used, which is why it holds onto its value extremely well over time.
Subaru Crosstrek
The next vehicle that we have in the number nine spot is the Subaru Crosstrek. According to IC cars, the Crosstrek only loses 24.5% of its value in the first five years, which is the equivalent of just over $7,200.
And again, much of this has to do with the Crosstreks desirability. This is a very well-designed small SUV for those who want something that’s economical, reliable, and still offers all the capability of an SUV.
So it’s really no surprise that it holds onto its value extremely well over time.
Toyota CHR
And the same is true for the next vehicle that’s in the number eight spot, which is the Toyota CHR.
The CHR only loses 24.4% of its value over the first five years, which is the equivalent of just over $6,600.
Now, even though the CHR is still available in markets in Europe and other parts of the world, unfortunately it’s no longer sold brand new in North America.
The CHR was replaced with the Corolla cross and hopefully this one proves to have the same very strong resale value as the CHR Over time, only time will tell.
Chevrolet Camaro
But for now, let’s move on to the next vehicle in the number seven spot, which is the Chevrolet Camaro.
According to the survey, the Camaro only loses 24.2% of its value over the first five years, which is the equivalent of just over $10,000.
Subaru BRZ
Camaro wasn’t the only sports car to make the list in the number six spot. We also have the Subaru BRZ.
The BRZ, also known as the BRZ, loses only 23.4% of its value in the first five years, which is the equivalent of just over $8,000.
Honda Civic
And next up in the number five spot we have the Honda Civic.
Amazingly, the Honda Civic only loses 21.5% of its value in the first five years, which is the equivalent of just over $5,800.
Imagine buying a regular car like the Civic and only losing a little over a thousand dollars in value each year that you own it.
That’s pretty astonishing. But much like the Corolla, the Cross Trek, and a few others, a lot of that has to do with the civics.
Very strong desirability among consumers. Civics are known for being very reliable, fuel-efficient, well designed, and just generally really good cars to buy and keep for a really long time.
Jeep Wrangler
And now moving on to the next one in the number four spot. This one should not be a surprise to many, which is the Jeep Wrangler.
The Wrangler only loses 20.8% of its value in the first five years of ownership, which is the equivalent of just under $9,000 for many years.
Now, the Wrangler has been one of the top performers when it comes to resale value.
Even though they don’t necessarily have the best reliability, they are an extremely high demand and most of that has to do with their image and the fun factor.
There’s no way around it. A lot of consumers just really like Wranglers.
So even though it might not be the best buy when it comes to its pricing or its build quality in the long run, at least you know you’re not going to lose very much money on it if you decide to sell it down the road.
Toyota Tacoma
And next up in the number three spot we have the Toyota Tacoma.
According to the study, Tacoma only lost 20.4% of its value in the first five years, which is the equivalent of just over $8,300.
And again, much of this has to do with the fact that the Tacoma has built a reputation for being one of the most durable, reliable, no-nonsense work trucks that you can buy.
Porsche 718 Cayman
And next up on the list in the number two spot, we have a sports car, which is the Porsche 718 Cayman.
The Cayman only loses 17.6% of its value in the first five years of ownership, which is the equivalent of just over $13,000.
That’s certainly not a lot of money to lose on a car like this, especially one that’s this expensive to buy brand new.
Porsche 911
But as impressive as that is, it’s known as good as the vehicle that’s in the number one spot, which is the Porsche 911.
Incredibly, the 911 only loses 9.3% of its value in the first five years of ownership, which is the equivalent of just over $18,000.
Considering that nine elevens can easily cost upwards of 150,000, sometimes even over $200,000 when they’re brand new, to lose such little money on it over the first five years is pretty incredible.
