Going up

HONDA CR-V
Demand for SUVs remains strong and the CR-V is one of the pick of the bunch with its trademark Honda build quality and refinement. New diesel engine addition should further increase demand.

FIAT STILO/PUNTO
With low volumes in stock at the manufacturer and no daily rental business with these models, nearly-new values are holding firm.

KIA PICANTO
A fantastic value-for-money package and buyers are obviously realising this as there’s currently a three-month wait for a new one.

Going down

PRESTIGE SE SPEC CARS
Sport derivatives are gaining in popularity over SE models. Why? Because they have bigger wheels, subtle exterior tweaks and no wood trim inside.

STRANGE METALLIC PAINT
Colours such as the chromatic paint which changes colour in different lights are worth potentially thousands of pounds less than a safe metallic hue such as silver or blue.

OLD-MODEL - MERCEDES-BENZ CLK
Looking dated now compared with the sleeker new model. These cars must have a big spec list if they’re to sell.
