Everybody wants to think they’ve made a great car purchase, one that will hold its value three to five years down the road, especially if it’s a family car.
Kiplinger used data from Kelley Blue Book, specifically new vehicle data from 12/28/10, and resale values from January and February 2011. To win the best resale award, a vehicle had to be selected as one of the top 25 in its category, and no model could be selected if another trim of the same model won in a previous category.
The Toyota built, 2011 Scion xB has the highest resale value among cars under $20,000!
The safe, affordable and unique small car is a Kiplinger winner in its category for three-year resale value of 57 percent, clearly way ahead of the rest in its class. Kiplinger cites the Scion xB’s low insurance costs, 22 cubic-foot cargo space and good fuel economy as additional pluses.
