Luxury Segment Tops Highest Depreciation List
The National Automobile Dealers Association’s Used Car Guide, reports that luxury segments experienced the highest depreciation rate among the three-year old models in 2007.
Terrence W. Wynne, director of editorial and data services for NADA Used Car Guide, said, “Luxury vehicle owners consistently demonstrate a strong preference for owning the latest new products in this segment. The changing customer preferences and high manufacturer replacement rate effectively accelerates depreciation of these vehicles, deflating the resale performance of previous models and those competitive models late in their life cycle.

Thanks NADA for stating the obvious... its been like that for decades
And since when is ANY Kia a luxury car??
OPF
I remember seeing in January in a car magazine a commercial about Infiniti where they were saying they had the line of vehicules, among the luxury vehicules, that had the least depreciation.

pjstevens77,
obviously, they're pointing out the fact that 7 of the 10 on the list are luxury makes, including the top 2. nobody is saying that Kia and Suzuki are luxury makes. :rolleyes:
