Chevys That Have the Best Resale Value

It is common knowledge that a car’s value depreciates over the years. It doesn’t matter if you buy a luxury vehicle. Your car is going to depreciate in value just like all the others. That said, some brands like Chevrolet are just so popular with consumers that there are always buyers for second- or even third-hand models. If you’re selling your car, you won’t get the price you originally paid, of course, but it will be significant. Here are some Chevrolets that have consistently had a good resale value over the years.

2016 Chevrolet Camaro

You can get up to 49 percent of your original purchase for the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. This model was immensely popular when it first came out, and it has retained a good following, thanks mainly to its sleek design and powerful 6.2-liter V-8 engine that is capable of producing 455 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque.

Outfitted with this powerful engine and a six-speed manual transmission, the 2016 Chevrolet has a good on-road performance with a strong acceleration. Thanks to its Magnetic Ride Control suspension, which is optional, you can expect a comfortable ride as well.

The exterior styling is elegant and attractive, and the vehicle comes with many of the multimedia features that we now consider standard.

2016 Chevrolet Colorado

If you want to trade in your 2016 Chevrolet Colorado for a newer version, expect to get around 58.3 percent of the original price.

In Japan, the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado is known as the Isuzu D-Max. This model is the result of a joint production effort by Japanese Isuzu Car Motors Ltd. and General Motors. It was first sold in Japan as the Isuzu D-Max before it was brought over to the United States and rebranded as the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado.

When the Chevy Colorado was brought to the United States, General Motors spruced up its looks and engine, and there is much to like about this vehicle. This SUV comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 200 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque and a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that can produce 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. You can also pick the 2.8-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that allows it to tow up to 7,000 pounds.

The Colorado’s spacious cabin seats adults comfortably in the back-seat. You can opt for a four-door version and pick cargo boxes in two lengths. For entertainment during the ride, passengers in the Colorado, WT, LT, and Z71 trims will have access to a 4.2-inch display and a variety of multimedia options. The vehicle’s safety features include airbags, lane departure warning, and forward collision alert. You can enhance the LT with the optional Luxury package and the LT convenience package and improve the Z71’s off-road capability with the Trail Boss Edition package.

If you are considering investing in a second-hand Chevrolet, these are two worthwhile models to consider. Stop by your Jim McKay Chevrolet today to take these models for a test drive.
