Kia K900
Kia released the K900, a full-size luxury sedan, as their answer to Mercedes’ S-Class and BMW’s 7-Series. Like other high-end cars, this Kia boasts all the creature comforts of luxurious driving, including the usually steep rate of depreciation. The 2015 lux model came with a 420hp V8 engine and a base price tag of about $60,000, somewhat lower than the standard price of its competitors, but still quite high for a Kia. Buyers can look to get a 2017 model for about $20k less now, an excellent price for such a large executive sedan.

VW Passat
If you’re looking for a midsize family car and you’re a fan of VW, then a Passat would be a really good option to look at. The 2018 used models are now selling for $18.000 less than the price for a new one, and 2015 models are up for grabs at about $23,000. The sad fact that VW’s have lost their value in general, mainly due to the emissions test scandal from a few years back, meaning the depreciation rate of all VW’s -especially the diesel models- has been quite severe. A Passat’s value will decline by 22% in the first year and a further 10-12% every year thereafter, and diesel models suffer even higher rates. Good news for those looking to get a used car.
