Toyota, Lexus win 5-year residual value awards
Toyota and Lexus won Kelley Blue Books award for the best resale value for mainstream and luxury brands for the second year in a row. They have the highest 60-month residual value across all models in their lineup.
The top 10 cars with the best resale value are the Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Jeep Wrangler, Lexus LX, Porsche Cayenne, Scion tC and Toyota FJ Cruiser, Land Cruiser, Tacoma and 4Runner.
An average MY 2013 vehicle will retain 38.6 percent of its original value after five years, says Kelley Blue Book. Most options and packages added to a vehicle dont necessarily increase the resale value, except for a high-performance engine or performance package in a sports car.
