The company in the Netherlands car values calculated Auto Telex. Once a year they calculate what cars a very good residual value and what cars after three years worth no more than the scrapping premium.

It is that new cars that sell well are often a good residual value. If a car is almost not sold then the residual value lousy. The new price will affect the relative residual. Cars with an original price relatively high spend proportionately much less.

Car new price
The cars with the best residual value have an average new price of about E 8000. The cars with the worst residual costs soon E 50,000 and more.

Conclusions residual
What you’re doing with this information. You’re doing with a big bow to walk around the cars that have a low residual value and the used car you need to buy a high resale value quickly?
No, if you buy a big forever living: that has a high depreciation behind than you drive for relatively little money in a nice, safe, good and comfortable car and write comparatively far less.

The same opposite is true for small cars. Because the residual value is so high it is often sensible for a small extra investment to purchase a new model. The differences are sometimes a thousand euro between a new car and a copy of two years old.
