2014 Best Resale Value Awards: Sports Car - Kelley Blue Book
GM has really made some headlines lately. Owning a muscle car used to bring with it a number of supplementary expenses, particularly when it came time to sell, but the Chevrolet Camaro V6 keeps practicality in check thanks to laudable resale value, a lengthy 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and EPA fuel economy figures of up to 30 mpg on the highway. If ever there was a good time to own a modern-day muscle car, it's now. From where we sit, the 2014 Camaro is a design tour de force. It's great looking from every angle and instantly recognizable as a Camaro without drawing too heavily on designs from previous generations. While its aggressive front end immediately grabs your attention, our favorite element of the design is the synergy between the flared rear fenders and the roof. GM designers say it was extremely difficult to accomplish this look using factory stamping techniques, but the end result was a smashing success. Camaros of old were great in a straight line but less impressive through corners, especially if the road surface was uneven. Employing a multi-link rear suspension in place of a live axle, the current-generation Camaro is much more at home in these types of challenging situations. And with 323 horsepower on tap, the 2014 Camaro V6 can give the V8-powered Camaros of yore a serious run for their money. For all its impressive performance figures, though, the Camaro's most compelling quality is quite possibly its sticker price. With an enticing $24,500 starting MSRP and low depreciation, the Chevy Camaro offers a considerable amount of bang for the buck.

This sucks because I want to buy one used and will apparently be waiting for even more years. GM did too well!

Just telling us something we already knew, now the whole world knows....

Is this only for the 2014? I mean the 2010-2013 looks 90% like the 2014

Wait til the insurance companies hear about this.

Dam, who let the cat out of the bag

I guess now I will just have to hang onto Lil'Blue:hail:

Well I didn't just focus on the sports car category and Gm has a lot of cars and trucks in the categories except in the luxury area where I thought caddy has since stepped up their game in the quality dept. But it doesn't seem to show here. But I guess if you want something that doesn't depreciate that much get a Toyota FJ cruiser only 70.1 percent depreciation after 36 months that is like wow to me. Even that whole category is amazing the midsize suv one. Oh and I see no fords on any of the lists except for the fusion.

try to find a 2LT used or new? Definitely the best seller
|
When I traded my 2010 1LT for my 2012 I got over 75% of its origonal MSRP in trade and it was over 2 1/2 years old with 32,000 miles on it.

The 2010-2014 Camaros RS V6 and SS V8 are all muscle cars by definition of the 60's muscle car era! Back then if your car had 300hp , it was considered a muscle car! So, YES we all own muscle cars just different levels of HIGH PERFORMANCE!
|
V-iva La V6! Seriously, the 'Master Race' notwithstanding, it really does have quite the performance (and gas mileage) for a lowly 6 cylinder. And that apparently didn't go unnoticed by the consumer / resale market.

MY fear is, that when us boomers die off, the "muscle car" of yesteryear (current year) will be another thing undesirable attributed to the boomer legacy. Face it my fellow boomers, the younger generation thinks we effed up the planet. (jury's still out...) The future Camaro may be a hybrid electric water-burning hydrogen "Flux Capacitor" powered God-knows-what!:noidea: |
No wonder my town is killing me on annual taxes on this car.
almost $2,000 so far in 4 yrs.. |

I cant begin to imagine how much less you would get for other muscle cars. I was offered an insulting trade in value when I once considered it earlier this year. But hey good news on camaro!

Got it from Ricks Graphics in PA. |
While I'm not planning to sell my car unless I absolutely have to, it is reassuring to hear that. However, I bought mine second hand outside of the US. When the first owner bought it in October of 2011, he paid about 500,000 RMB which is just about $82,000. (its "just" a V6 auto!). I got it for a steal at 360,000 RMB which is just under $60K and had less that 10,000 miles on her. In two years it depreciated sharply, but that is because it is difficult to register cars, and people who are buying cars now tend to go to buy new cars, driving all second hand car prices down, after the initial depreciation the prices don't drop as the car gets too much older. Still, I have no plans to sell!
