5 New Cars You Should Avoid

Although most adore the new car smell, one thing that keeps many from purchasing a brand new car is depreciation - the fact that once you drive that new car off the lot, the value automatically drops quickly and will keep going from there.

However, not every car depreciates the same - some lose their value faster, while others burn it at a slower rate.
Bankrate.com has recently revealed a list of the five cars that depreciate the most along with some alternatives that may hold their value a bit longer.

On the list - the 2012 Kia Sedona LX, 2013 Chevrolet Impala LT, 2012 Jeep Liberty Limited Sport, 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara Premium, and 2013 Jaguar XJ.

As always, I recommend you use the free when buying or leasing a new car - to make sure you don't get hit with severe depreciation.
