Nobody wants to throw money away on a bad car deal—especially when buying new. But what if you could save thousands by choosing the right used car instead? According to a new study by iSeeCars, some vehicles depreciate way faster than others, making them incredible bargains on the used market! 🔥
Let’s break down the fastest-depreciating cars of 2025 and see why they’re worth considering if you’re looking for a luxury ride at a massive discount
Why Are Some Cars Losing Value So Fast?
The study analyzed over 800,000 used car sales from March 2024 to February 2025 and found that every type of car is losing value faster than before. But not all vehicles depreciate equally:
✅ Trucks & Hybrids hold value best, losing ~40% in 5 years.
✅ EVs depreciate the most, dropping 58.8% over five years.
✅ Luxury cars lose the most money due to their high starting price.
Now, let’s check out the top 10 worst performers when it comes to resale value.
