Things do change. Subaru topped a list as the brand with the best resale value beating out Honda the brand that long held the top spot. “The sustained high quality of Subaru’s products as well as its consistent message about the benefits of all-wheel drive” have contributed to loyal customers and high resale value, says Raj Sundaram, senior vice president of ALG. The two rankings split on the top luxury brand for resale. Kelley Blue Book picked BMW, while ALG chose Infiniti.

If you ever have tried to use a car dealership and trade in your used car, only to be offered a much lower price then you believe the vehicle to be worth, you know just how difficult the process can be.
