2014 Best & Worse Resale Values

Chances are if you're in the market for purchasing a brand-new 2014 vehicle, you're not really thinking about what it might be worth if and when you decide to one day sell it or trade it in.

However, let's face facts -- once you drive that brand-new car off the dealer lot, the resale value automatically starts to plummet. So knowing that if one day you do decide to sell this car to purchase another new one, it's good to know what experts are predicting the resale value will be.

Over at Cars.com, they've recently compiled list of 2014 vehicles with the best and worst expected resale values.
At the top of the best list is the 2014 Toyota Tacoma, which industry experts expect will retain 63% of its residual value after 36 months. That's closely followed by the 2014 Toyota FJ Cruise with 62% and 2014 Toyota 4Runer at 60%.

On the flipside, the top of the worst list was claimed by the 2014 Chevrolet Captiva Sport, which is expected to only retain 38% of its value after 36 months. In second place is the 2014 Ram Cargo Van at 40%, and third is the 2014 Chevrolet Impala Limited also at 40%.

Cars.com also put together a list of the top 2014 Residual Value Award Winners by segment, through information provided by lease value forcasting company ALG. The overall winner for Mainstream Brand was Honda, and for Premium Brand Mercedes-Benz.
