A combination of following and working in the industry, personal experience as well as manufacture incentives.
Depreciation tells only one part of the story, and actually Kias are very high within their segment. Try comparing something like a Toyota Camry vs. Kia Optima - it's night and day difference.
- 5ilv3r 9y agoI've noticed a good pattern to indicate car value. Junkyard availability. If you want junkyard parts for a car in my region, you're looking at good availability for 15 year old American cars, 10 year old Japanese and German cars, and 5 year old Korean cars. That obviously is skewed by demand and taste, but is a nice indication of when a car is too old to be worth fixing. Also a good way to figure out what used shitbox you should buy next if you want cheap parts. :)
