Volkswagen Beetle

The Volkswagen Beetle is yet another classic car model that has seen a terrible depreciation rate in the past few years. In fact, a one-year-old copy will have lost 37% of its value already! However, those who bought the diesel models suffer more than those with the gasoline models. If you are wondering why, we would like to direct your attention to the diesel scandal Volkswagen was involved in. It was revealed that the manufacturer included a software program that made it perform well in emission tests. As of September 18, 2015, the diesel units suffer twice the rate of depreciation in comparison to the gasoline ones. It might be a good idea to buy a used Beetle now!

Lincoln MKS

Can you believe that the Lincoln MKS is nearly obsolete? The model did not fare well in the market, even though it was made to cater to luxury car buyers with a budget below $50k. It never became a top-seller, and this is the reason why it loses 30.4 percent of the original value after a single year. Like the Hyundai Genesis, it will not give you the bang for your buck when bought brand-new, though it is a good deal when you buy a used unit.
