New cars start to lose value when the owner drives them off the dealer lot. Depreciation is real, but some makes and models retain their initial value better than others. A new iSeeCars<\/em> study reveals which used cars have had the lowest depreciation over the last five years.<\/p>\n Nothing comes close to holding its value like the Porsche 911, which depreciated just 9.3 percent, or $18,094, since 2018. That number is nearly half of the second-ranked Porsche 718 Cayman, which lost 17.6 percent of its value.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to spend Porsche money to buy a fun car with a low depreciation. Other coupes that make the list include the Subaru BRZ, the Chevrolet Camaro, and the Ford Mustang, which rank 6, 7, and 11, respectively.<\/p>\n Toyota also has a strong showing on the list, with the RAV4, Tacoma, Tundra, Corolla, and C-HR making the top 20. The first year of the current-generation Jeep Wrangler JL ranks fourth behind the Tacoma, losing about 21 percent of its value.<\/p>\n The Honda Civic sneaks onto the list at number 5, losing 21.5 percent, or $5,817, over the last five years. The Kia Rio, Chevrolet Spark, and Honda HR-V are other affordable models that join the Civic on the list alongside the Subaru Impreza and Crosstrek.\u00a0<\/p>\n The iSeeCars<\/em> study analyzed 1.1 million used cars from the 2018 model year sold between November 2022 and October 2023. The report does not include low-volume models, and it excludes heavy-duty trucks, vans, and models discontinued as of the 2022 model year. On average, the 25 makes and models from 2018 with the lowest five-year depreciation lost 38.8 percent of their value, or $17,221.<\/p>\n
