The Best Resale List For 2018 Is Basically All Trucks And A Rally Car
The Best Resale List For 2018 Is Basically All Trucks And A Rally Car-January 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:51

When it comes to the overall cost of a vehicle, the sale price is only part of the equation. You need to factor in resale, and how much value your car will lose. Some drop slower than others, and according to , these 2018 trucks, SUVs, and an all-wheel-drive sedan will be your best bets to minimize depreciation.

The majority of this list will not be surprising as Toyota’s 4x4s round off the top three. Anyone that has ever tried to shop for a Tacoma, Tundra or 4Runner in the second-hand market will tell you how bonkers some of the used prices can be.

It is curious why the Tundra outranks the 4Runner, even though they have identical 60-month residuals but the 4Runner retains 65.8 of its resale while the Tundra is just slightly under at 64.7 percent. We reached out to Kelly Blue Book for clarification on those rankings.

Also interesting is that the ‘Yotas outlast even the legendarily-fanatical Wrangler resale. It’s not just a Jeep thing.

As for the other choices, the big trucks from Chevy and Ford are constantly in demand for used car buyers. Missing from the list, by contrast, are the half-ton offerings from Ram. You will see a fairly significant gap in the pre-owned prices on Ram trucks compared to the Chevrolet/GMC 1500 series and F-150 models.

The Honda Ridgeline is a nice surprise here, despite not being a “real truck” for some folks. It likely holds value thanks to its Honda reputation for durability. And of course, we have the WRX which is the only car to make the list, but sticks with the overall theme of how quality AWD/4WD vehicles maintain value.

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

Which One Of You Suckers Is Going To Pay Over $32,000 For A 25-Year-Old Toyota 4Runner
The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...
