Buying a car is one of the largest investments for many people, but a vehicle is something that also has a shelf life, and the resell value is always less than the purchase price. This is especially true when you purchase a brand new car off the lot. The value plummets almost immediately. Vehicles typically lose about 21.1 percent or more of their value in their first year, so it is definitely something to consider when thinking about buying new or used. These 12 models have all been recognized as having some of the fastest depreciating values of their kind... something to think about when shopping for your next set of wheels.
