Over time, new cars begin to lose value. It is for this reason that some prefer to rent rather than buy.
Prime examples are the Cadillac CTS, Volkswagen CC, BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The above vehicles are expected to lose approximately 58 - 64 % of their value over a 36 month period. Although this is good news for used car buyers.
Hagerty, one of the largest auto insurance organizations, has announced a list of 10 cars they believe will retain their value in the future.
