You just bought a new Volvo S80 or Lincoln MKS? In 5 years, you can expect each of them to be worth around 20% of what you paid. Here are the 10 worst cars for holding their value. Hope your ride isn't on the list.

This is one of the convincing factors that made me buy my R8. That Volvo is expected to lose over 30k in 5 years. Based on my calculations, in 4 to 5 years the R8 will probably lose around 40k. Is a v10 r8 worth 2k more per year than an s80??? I'd say so!

i dont think that list is super acurate based on what it said for the yukon you should be able to pick up an 08 for 15k if that were true i would be rolling in an 08 yukon right now lol, most of them are still in the low 30's a few are in the 22-23 range with high miles

This is why I could never buy a brand new car. I'll let someone else swallow the depreciation hit. I'd rather buy 2 years used with 20K miles or less and still have a full factory warranty.

Good news though for those that buy used

I wouldn't mind in a couple of years picking up a used MKS loaded. Saw one on the showroom the other day when I was getting an oil change, goregous interior on the 13's.

I'm thinking the article is talking about trade in pricing.

Jalopnik just did an article on depreciation the other day. The R8, in their research, depreciated 0%. I don't know how they did their research, but it seems very plausible that it would lose close to no value.

Thats probably why he choose it, Turk faps to high resale value and thrust.

Apparently I should find a G8 GXP according to that list STAT.

Right!?!?? I would totally pick up a used ecoboost MKS for $10k in 5 years! I loved my Lincoln LS.
