Fiat 500 L

The Fiat 500 L was introduced in 2014, though it did not live up to the expectations the manufacturers set for it. It negatively affected both its popularity and resale value. It is true that the vehicle came with a spacious cabin, decent trunk, great visibility, and user-friendly features. However, these did not make up for the below average performance and subpar power that the car delivered. The base price for a 500 L is a little more than $20k, but you will be better off getting an older unit for less than $14k. Needless to say, this is a significant amount of depreciation for a car that is only several years old.

Jaguar XF

Jaguar, like other luxury car manufacturers, suffers from high depreciation rates. However, this is the exact same reason why this mid-sized luxury sedan is available for a lower price on the used car market. In 2009, the XF was introduced at a base price of $50,000. It came with a V6 300 hp engine, though people could still upgrade it to a V8 420 hp engine and add on a bunch of other features. A 2009 or 2010 unit will now cost less than $15,000! If you want our opinion, we say go for it. After all, an XF in great condition will come equipped with a complete leather interior, topnotch safety features, an amazing engine, and a wonderful design.
