Buick Regal

The Buick Regal was the car that reintroduced Buick as a premium manufacturer in sedan class. This model was pretty much the European Opel Insignia. It had a nice selection of extras that were optional, a wide range of turbocharged engines and drivetrain options and it soon became one of the best choices for an affordable luxury sedan. The original MSRP price was just under $30k, but you can easily find two-year-old models for just over $10k. Naturally, since there will be a new model available next year, this will affect the price as well.

Mitsubishi Lancer

The Mitsubishi Lancer made it onto the list as its markdown rate is at 35%. While this model is marketed as an affordable one, it loses a massive percentage of its value in the first year alone. There was a comparison to check the 5-year cost to own ratio between the Lancer and the base Mini Cooper model. While the Lancer’s initial price runs at $17.5k, it costs roughly $4k less than the cooper but costs $5k more in ownership for five years. This point is significant when considering if to buy a new or used Lancer.
