Top 10 2014 Cars With the Best Residual Values

Cars that depreciate the least

Do you consider resale value when it’s time to buy a new car? Even though cars tend to depreciate quickly, some hold their value better than others.

The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) and ALG release an annual list describing the best resale value of all-new and refreshed mainstream cars. NADA looked at the best selling trim level of the mainstream vehicles. The calculation is a taken from a three-month average (October, 2014, through December, 2014) of NADA’s average trade-in value divided by a vehicle’s average Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP).
