It’s fairly common knowledge that as a new car drives off the lot it loses 20% of its value that day; but over time the value of that car will depreciate much slower than it did that first day. At least some cars slowly depreciate; a study was done to see which cars depreciate the quickest and by how much. During the first three years of a cars life it depreciates at an accelerated rate; but the cars that made this top 10 list have a super accelerated rate of depreciation. After 5 years a vehicle usually will have lost 65% of its value; but the vehicles on this list have lost 74% or more of their value.
1. Kia Sedona – 5 year depreciation of 80%
2. Lincoln Town Car- 5 year depreciation of 79%
3. Isuzu Ascender- 5 year depreciation of 77%
4. Dodge Durango- 5 year depreciation of 76%
5. Ford Econoline- 5 year depreciation of 76%
6. Suzuki Reno- 5 year depreciation of 75%
7. Chevrolet Uplander- 5 year depreciation of 75%
