Kbb.com Offers Advice on Choosing New Cars Predicted to Maintain Value over Five-Year Ownership Period


IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Kelley Blue Book, the leading provider of new and used vehicle information, announces the all-new 2012 model-year vehicle winners of its annual Best Resale Value Awards, recognizing current and forthcoming vehicles for their projected retained value throughout the initial five-year ownership period. Since depreciation (or loss of value) is typically a car buyer’s primary expense during ownership, these awards, like all of kbb.com’s new- and used-vehicle information, are designed to help consumers make more informed car-buying decision.


2012 BEST RESALE VALUE: BY VEHICLE CATEGORY

SPORTS CAR: Chevrolet Camaro V-6
HIGH-PERFORMANCE CAR: Chevrolet Camaro SS

 

Nice. I was talking with Cheryl Pilcher and John Fitzpatrick over lunch not long ago and they said resale value is very very high for new Camaros. This backs it up!

 

The Camaro seems to be doing everything right.

 

My guess would be that there is a very high demand for newer off lease vehicles that have already taken the depreciation hit.

My GF wants a newer Gen 5 Camaro V6.

Everyone can't afford to buy a new car,so a slightly used one still gives you the look.

I think the value will be up until the first redesign/reskin when it will fall slightly.
