Here are four 2011 re-designed vehicles which are expected to have a higher resale value than other competing vehicles in its category over a 3-year and 5-year period. Residual value is based on the percentage of the MSRP a new-vehicle will retain after a period of time, which could be 2 years, 3 years, 4 years or 5 years. Typically, after 5 years, the value of your vehicle greatly diminishes. Resale value is important for two reasons: if you plan on trading in your vehicle within a specified period of time and if you plan on leasing a vehicle. In the case of leasing, higher residual values leads to lower car payments than traditional financing.
