BMW 5 Series
Brand new BMWs are very expensive, probably because they are incredibly well-made cars, but we have to remember that they are still a luxury vehicle and like all others, its value will decline fast. Although it loses only 18-22% in the first year, unlike other high-end cars, BMW values keep dropping year after year. This means you can get a 2014 5-Series with a 60% lifespan left for as little as 37% of the original cost.

Volkswagen 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.
