Cars With the Highest Resale Value
July 25, 2013
Let's face it -- when you're buying a new car, the last thing you're thinking about is whether the resale value of the car is going to hold up if you decide to sell it in a few years.
However, a car is an asset and you want it to retain its value so if you do decide to sell t in a few years, you don't feel like you got short changed. BankRate.com recently put together a list of the top six vehicles with the highest resale value. On their list are the Honda Fit, Hyundai Azera, and Toyota FJ Cruiser.
Thinking of buying one of these vehicles? Make sure to use the free CarWoo Deal Finder to get the biggest discounts.

My Recommendation for Car Shoppers
TrueCar No-Haggle, Edmunds Price Promise, and 1-800 Car Show are the quickest way to see the lowest car prices in your area. These sites show you no-haggle prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually really good. This should be the first step you take when negotiating your car price. Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.California Residents - Important:
There is a new online car buying service called Roadster, available only to California residents, which I highly recommend you try - especially if you hate the stress of haggling with a car salesman. They provide an expert concierge who negotiates the price of the car and delivers it to your home with zero hassle - you never have to interact with a dealership. Here is my in-depth review of Roadster and why I recommend it.- Gregg Fidan
