Cars That Have Lost A Lot Of Their Value

Cadillac XTS

This model was introduced in 2013 as a mid-size Cadillac with loads of luxury options and elegant design. However, the XTS just didn’t meet the driving dynamics like the ATS or CTS. In addition, it didn’t have the opulence of the CT6. For these reasons, the XTS is sort of the middle child of the Cadillac models. Prices for this model started at almost $45k for a 304 hp version with front-wheel drive. Today, however, you can find a well-kept and low mileage XTS for half its original price, making it one of the best deals in midsize luxury sedans.

VW Passat

While the VW Passat isn’t a luxury car, it can be bought for a fraction of its original price, and for a family midsized sedan, that’s great. It has a wide variety of engines, advanced technology, and features. You might wonder how it could be bought for so cheap now. This is because of Volkswagen’s emission cheating scandal. A lot of diesel-powered Passats had to be recalled which gave Volkswagen a whole lot of bad press, causing their whole model lineup to drop in price. As a result, a Passat from 2014 that would have cost $25k is now worth $12-$13k depending on its options. We certainly don’t recommend buying one with the notorious diesel engine, but the regular, gasoline engine version is also cheap.
