Volkswagen Beetle

One of the higher depreciation rates on this list is that of the Beetle from VW. A 42% depreciation is actually very high and that the diesel models have an even higher rate of loss is also worth keeping in mind. The diesel models have depreciated extensively, due to the software cheat scandal and since 2015 diesel-powered Beetles have seen twice the depreciation rate as their gasoline counterparts. The only good news is that the rate of loss of value remains around the same level for another two years before falling again by 10% or more.

Lincoln MKS

The days of the Lincoln MKS are coming to an end, though it is a good option for buyers looking to get a luxury car for around $40k brand new. It was never a top-seller and with a depreciation rate of 22% in the first year, it seems as though it’s not going to keep its value very well. It also doesn’t help that the rate keeps falling and never really levels out. Great for those buying them used, not so nice for those who own one.
