Best at retaining value

http://money.cnn.com/2004/12/08/pf/a...ex.htm?cnn=yes

Honda leads... wow, and I thought Toyota would finish at top.

Surprise to me is Jeep.

Junkster, who is fascinated by the mispelling of Accura

Honda Motor is made up of both the Honda and Accura brands, the latter of which came in third among luxury brands.

They fixed the misspell. And it's good that Honda is still showing strong retention of value. I find it surprising that the Altima did so well, considering that it's a piece of crap except for that motor.

that's great and all, but i really dont care what holds it value for cars, i care about what will last the longest and what looks good and what is a good car for the dollar.

cars aren't an investment.

i sound like a :killer:

true, but i guess some ppl consider resale value when they buy a new car. it would suck that your car loan would be more then the value of your car after a few years.

i wonder how many of the ppl that jumped on the 0% GM, Ford, etc deals feel about their purchase now.

you do sound like a :killer:

German automakers took the award for best retained value for the more expensive models, as BMW was the best luxury brand overall
So who's #2??

Wouldn't BMW be high on that list? They probably don't consider them big enough.

VW sucks at retaining value. Where those people on crack when they wrote this?? The KBB said my Jetta was worth $13K. Best offer I had was $8k.

Honda's...damn it.

I don't intend to purchase an used Civic, but everytime I see a 97 Civic listed at $8000 when they have 75,000 miles, it just drives me nuts.

Most likely, but they did point out it's the #1 among luxury brands for holding its value. And Acura is #3...so who's #2? Mercedes or Lexus?

When I had saved enough for a new car, I wanted to buy used anyway cause of my financial situation. One of the used Civics on the dealer's lot was asking for $12,000...and a new Civic was only 2-3K more....it wasn't making any sense.
