So, you've narrowed your new car search down to just a few models. They will all serve your needs equally well and they are all similarly priced. How do you determine which one is the right car for you?
One question that you may not have asked yourself is this, "if I decide to sell my car in the next few years what will it be worth." Different models of cars vary greatly in how quickly they loose their original value.
Fortunately websites like ALG can help you solve this problem. The people at ALG have calculated and compiled a list of the vehicles that are the best and worst at holding their value. Vehicles that received a higher rating are almost certain to hold their value much longer than lower rated vehicles-barring any accidents or improper maintenance. Incidentally these cars also make the best car leases.
Be sure to consider your cars residual value when you are buying a new car.
