Lincoln MKZ
Over the years the business of executive sedans has become a highly competitive sector, and in opposition to BMW’s 3-Series and the C-Class from Mercedes, Ford launched the Lincoln MKZ. Sadly it was not well received by the public and has not achieved much acclaim. Despite the high level of equipment, the rather powerful 263hp engine, the leather interior and all-round quality, it could not keep up with the competitors who had more refined and better-designed vehicles. This left the resale value of this sedan severely affected, and a second-hand buyer can expect to pay about 23% less for a year-old model with about 80% of its lifetime still remaining, or a 2017 model is now only 65% of its price brand new.

Nissan Maxima
When the new generation of the Maxima was released by Nissan in 2016 they decided to not only improve the styling, they also included a new V6 with 300hp and a bunch of new tech and attachments. A Maxima is going for slightly under $36,000 brand, spanking new. Though it will be worth a very unpleasant 36% less than it was a year before it left the showroom floor. Now that’s great news if you’re looking to get one that’s not new, and its value will remain steady for another year or two before declining to about 40% after five years’ lifespan.
