Πρωταθλήτρια στην αξία μεταπώλησης για το 2014 η Chevrolet Corvette

Σίγουρα θα γνωρίζεις το ρητό που λέει ότι “από τη στιγμή που βγει ένα αυτοκίνητο από την αντιπροσωπεία, χάνει το 25% της αξίας του”. Το ποσοστό μπορεί να είναι υπερβολικό αλλά το ότι όσο καινούριο και να είναι ένα μεταχειρισμένο, χάνει μέρος της αρχικής του αξίας, είναι αδιαμφισβήτητο γεγονός.

Η έρευνα που διεξήγαγε η National Automobiles Dealers Association των Η.Π.Α. εξετάζει την αξία μεταπώλησης νέων ή ανασχεδιασμένων για το 2014 μοντέλων αυτοκινήτων, έπειτα από 1 χρόνο. Νικήτρια για το 2014, αναδείχθηκε η Chevrolet Corvette

Stingray (1LT, αυτόματη) που κατάφερε να διατηρήσει το 84.7% της αρχικής της αξίας έπειτα από 12 μήνες. Δεύτερο ήταν το Subaru Forester (i Premium, AWD 2.5 H4) που διατήρησε το 81.8% της αξίας του, ενώ τρίτο ήταν το Toyota Highlander (LE, 4WD 3.5L V6) με 78.8%. Την κορυφαία 5άδα συμπληρώνουν το Toyota 4Runner (SR5, 4WD 4.0L V6) με 77.1% και το Nissan Rogue (S, AWD 2.5L I4) με 73.1%.

Στον αντίποδα, η 5άδα των μοντέλων με την χειρότερη αξία μεταπώλησης έπειτα από 1 χρόνο, αποτελούνταν από τα εξής μοντέλα: Kia Forte Sedan (EX, 2.0L I4) με 61.8%, Chevrolet Impala (LS, 2.5L I4) με 59.9%, Kia Cadenza (Premium, 3.3L V6) με 56.6%, Fiat 500L (Pop, 1.4L I4 Turbo) με 55.3% και Mitsubishi Mirage (DE, 1.2L I3) με 54.5%

Corvette Stingray Owners Financially Savviest of All Car Shoppers?

MCLEAN, Va., Dec. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — In their final vehicle retention value report for the year, NADA Used Car Guide analysts detailed the one-year performance of all-new, or heavily redesigned mainstream car and truck models.

“We saw some real big winners and losers this past year when it comes to used vehicle value retention,” said Jonathan Banks, Executive Analyst at the NADA Used Car Guide. “The 2014 Corvette dominated other models by retaining 84.7 percent of its typically-equipped manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP), while the more practical Mitsubishi Mirage performed the worst, holding only 54.5 percent of its original MSRP.”

In addition to retaining its value best among the 20 vehicle models deemed eligible for the report (all vehicles listed were either redesigned or all-new for the 2014 model year), the Stingray ($55,345 MSRP) saw a 14.7-percentage point lead over the average value of a car within the Upper Sport car segment. To put things in perspective, the significantly cheaper Subaru Forester ($25,820 MSRP) saw almost similar value retention, keeping 81.8 percent of its retail price.

Among the biggest losers, the poor value performance of the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage was followed closely by the all-new Fiat 500L ($20,045 MSRP). The pint-sized Italian subcompact kept a scant 55.3 percent of its original manufacturer suggested retail price.

While the full listing of retention values can be found in the free NADA Used Car Guide Perspective Report, the top five value retention winners and losers are as follows:
