Kelley Blue Book (KBB) Best Resale Value Award Winners
Each year, Kelley Blue Book (KBB.com) forecasts the vehicles that will resell for the greatest amount of their original purchase price (manufacturer's suggested retail price, or MSRP). Use the KBB Best Resale Value Awards lists below to help choose a vehicle that may bring a higher resale value long-term.
Before you buy a used car, order the CARFAX® Vehicle History Report ™ and check our used car safety ratings. We also recommend that you take a test drive and have the vehicle inspected by a trusted mechanic.
