Cars With the Best Resale Value
May 23, 2013
When purchasing a new car, most people don't think about what it will be worth five, 10, 15 years from now when you decide to sell it.
The harsh reality is once you drive that shiny new car off the dealer lot, it's resale value automatically starts declining, and the truth is - some cars hold their value much better than others due to popularity, maintenance, miles per gallon, and other factors.
BankRate.com recently came out with a list of what they consider to be the cars with the best resale value. On the list - Honda Fit, Lexus GS 350, and Toyota FJ Cruiser. These cars are predicted to retain the highest percentage of manufacturer's suggested retail price after three years.
And no matter what new car you plan to purchase, make sure to use the free to maximize your overall savings.
