The cars that consistently hold their value the best are all well-known brands that are constantly in demand — even if they have a few years and miles on them. Not surprisingly, the list is mostly made up of sports cars, trucks and SUVs — all pretty hot classes for decades. Here’s a list (in no particular order) of the best buys for future resale consideration:
- Chevrolet Corvette: Cutting to the chase; the Corvette is a huge classic from way back. The Vette has been the object of desire of generations of men (and women) since its inception. A well-maintained Corvette will always have buyers waiting — cash in hand.
- Chevrolet Camaro: The recent redesign of the Camaro has made it one of the hottest cars in the market. Whether customized or a flat out factory model; the Camaro always, always looks hot.
- Jeep Wrangler: From its early days as a military vehicle, the Jeep has been both popular and dependable. With a style that has remained pretty consistent over the decades, the Jeep rates really high on the resale charts.
- Toyota FJ Cruiser: The FJ Cruiser is the highest ranking in the country when it comes to resale value. The Cruiser goes from city streets to off road effortlessly, and demand for previously-owned models shows no signs of dropping.
- Toyota Tundra: The Tundra hasn’t enjoyed the same level of sales as some of its top competition, but it’s a workhorse that definitely beats out the competition when it comes down to resale value.
If you are considering making a purchase that you may want to trade in at some point, or possibly sell in order to trade up to a more current model; you might want to take a hard look at some of these models. These vehicles offer the best chance of recouping more of your initial investment when the time arrives, while also serving as dependable and stylish rides in the meantime.
