Don’t forget to check out the models and brands with the best resale value.

After 5 years, Buick vehicles lose around 26% of their original value, making them one of the worst brands for resale value. The Buick Encore and Enclave are among the worst models for resale value, with both retaining only around 74% of their original value after 5 years.

Here’s a 2020 Buick Enclave that has lost 44% of its original value in less than three years. On top of that, it’s been sitting on the lot for 112 days. High depreciation can be a huge benefit to used car buyers. This Buick is highly negotiable.

Chrysler

74.06% resale value after 5 years

With a resale value of only 74.06% after 5 years, Chrysler is among the worst brands for retaining value. The Chrysler 300 is one of the worst models for resale value, with only around 74% of its original value retained after 5 years.

This 2020 Chrysler Voyager sold for nearly $10,000 more just a few years ago. However, due to ongoing minivan shortages, it’s still tough to negotiate. Days’ supply remains below average for most vans.

Ram

75.60% resale value after 5 years

Ram trucks have a resale value of only 75.60% after 5 years, making them a poor choice for those concerned about retaining value. The Ram 1500 is one of the worst models for resale value, with only around 75% of its original value retained after 5 years.

Ram can’t sell trucks right now. In fact, Ford and GM can’t either. We recently took a close look at the oversupply of trucks in America. It’s a startling contrast with the shortage of affordable new car models. Depreciation is definitely something to consider when buying a new Ram truck. This 5-year old Ram 1500 Limited with a clean record and 97,000 miles on the odometer has lost 42% of its value already.
