Not necessarily. If you compute in the huge inflation of the PLANdemic years, you had a worse deal than I had in 2019, when I sold a Peugeot 207 CC with only 1100€ less than what I bought it for in 2013, 5600€ (it already had 5 years and 31'000Km on the road), a period in which the inflation was "normal".

The reason it loose it value that fast because it was never worth that much at the beginning. Meaning over price.

Absolutely

A lot of the EVs lose extra resale value because of various tax credits on new ones. If you would have been able to get $10K or more in combined federal and state tax credits on a new one, obviously, that’s subtracted from the used car value before you even account for normal depreciation. Many of the vehicles with lowest depreciation keep their value because of supply chain issues making the wait for a new one too long. So, new car buyers start looking at any 1 year old used versions of those cars that are available on the lot so they can get a car today. That extra demand drives up the cost of those used vehicles.

One may plan to keep a car "until the wheels fall off" but, because it's a bad vehicle for several reasons to begin with, the costs to keep it on the road can outweigh the potential benefit of amortizing depreciation.

I have never bought a brand new car. I always buy used. Just bought a Cadillac XT4 2021 for less than half it's original MSRP at 3 years old now, with low mileage. I keep cars usually about 5-7 years, so my depreciation slows a lot by the time I get them. I just like the kind of car that I like, and to each their own. I don't really buy anything too old to worry about huge problems no matter the brand or model. The difference in what retains value the most is probably negligible for me in my situation.

The only reason I bought new was because I needed a car, and used prices were only slightly less or about the same as a new one. This was slightly after Covid.

thanks for the info regarding cars that plumet quickly in terms of value and those that don't.

Great video as always, please make a video about honda civic hybrid 2025 and should buyer wait few months to get hybrid or go with the ICE version of it.

Love it!

Repairs are expensive, the cars with the best resale tend to be the most reliable.

2 of the vehicles you listed are EVs and get a US subsidy of 7500 and 3750. So you have to subtract that from the depreciation since the owner doesn't pay that. Something depreciates based on what you actually paid not the list price.

Spot on! You’ll never go wrong with Honda and Toyota

So, the moral of this video is that inexpensive compacts and hybrids made by Honda and Toyota are worth keeping, but EV's(other than Tesla), mainstream Italian cars, and high-end German luxury sedans are worthless. Not really a big suprise. Thanks for another great video Shari.

Its misleading to talk about EV depreciation without also mentioning the significant government rebates that EVs have. A Bolt loses $9,000 in the first year? Well, $7,500 of that comes from the federal tax credit that the original owner receives. When you strip out the tax credit, the actual depreciation is only $1,500. So a misleading and simplistic approach here.

I don't think you have checked Tesla resale values lately.

Since when is the base price of an audi a3 under 30k? 35k plus destination is the cheapest a3 you can buy new.

It appears that iseecars is using MSRP to determine the initial value of a new car for calculation of drop in value over the first year. This is misleading and at a minimum overstates the impact on the consumer. For example, iseecars lists $34,542 as the average cost of a new Nissan Leaf. But if you check with local dealership prices, you'll see discounts off MSRP ranging from $5,000 to $13,000 (with resulting prices in the $20,000 range). So as a consumer, you just need to make sure you capture as much of that "first year depreciation" up front in your purchase price. Conversely the list of cars that supposedly hold their value the best are cars that happen to be in demand right now and for which dealerships can thus hold the line against deep discounts. So the consumer is going to pay more for those cars anyway. And if I am right about this, then that is why so many EVs are on the poor depreciation list as well, as iseecars holds federal subsidies against the value of the car. I could be wrong about all this; feel free to correct me if my understanding is incorrect.

The only German car I would ever buy is a Porsche, and I happened to own a 2024 911 Turbo S (in my dreams).

As an ex 750 owner I can comfortably say they do in fact lose value rapidly. But to get some value back. Sell them with an extended warranty 😇

I always try to figure the total cost of ownership. EVs always seem to be the worst, while hybrids are the best. I purchased a one year old Ford 2011 Ranger in 2012 because of their reliability, and the fact they stopped making them. I never put a dime in repairs and sold it 10 years later for exactly what i paid for it.

My vehicle purchases are kept below 5% of my net worth and I pay cash. Any drop in value is not tangible. I also put contingencies with every car purchase, such as I’m not allowed to buy another car unless $500k gets invested into making more passive income. Then I have to save up cash for the next car and avoid taking out investments. If more people understand this then we wouldn’t have an auto loan crisis were some individuals are paying 4 figures for a car loan per month.

Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar are not built to last and maintenance is unreal expensive.

Teslas MY qualifies for the $7500 rebate here in the US, it’s almost a no brainer to buy one. I paid $34300, for a new MY LR with inventory discount and the $7500 rebate applied, before state taxes and fees. OTD was under $40k back in January.

#1 Hyundai #2 Kia #3 Jeep imo as the worst. Subscribed.

This report should include the reasons why the vehicle depreciate that much. In the case of the Murano, I believe it’s because it is a very old design. But at the same time (due to its good reliability) it makes it a great option to get it as an used vehicle. I got mine like used and after 87k miles, it’s been a great car.

Agree, except a small point: between Toyota and Honda (I had one Civic bought in 2008, but since then their reliability decreased, according to Consumer Reports annual reliability surveys) you have at least Mazda from the most important factors (reliability and low TCO Total Cost of Ownership). Otherwise, yes, the Japanese best cars rule: Lexus, Toyota, Mazda, Acura, Honda, Subaru, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, from the most important POVs: reliability, low TCO, longevity etc.

Is that just resale value or insurance replacement if a a total loss accident?

Is the Value here meant to be msrp? Some new cars give big discounts against their msrp, so buying them new already means 30% off their “value”.

You have no idea of what you are talking about. Modern large (less frequently charged) actively cooled car batteries have a very decent chance to outlast the car. And they are getting better and better. Used EVs may be the bargain of the century. Actually, mine certainly is. I bought a 2013 Nissan Leaf In 2019 for $6k including sales tax. Since then, I saved more than that amount on fuel and maintenance. The car is negative cost now. And this is a 12 years old car/battery technology (2013 model year, so it was likely made in 2012 Calendar year) with a small battery (frequent charging) without active cooling. Moreover, I don't care for it dying on me and always charge to 100%. Yes, the battery degraded to ~70% of its original capacity, but it still has 60 mile range in the city and serves us well as a second car in the family, -- and will continue to do so for the next 3 years.
