Kelley Blue Book, a provider of new and used vehicle information, announced this month the all-new 2012 model-year vehicle winners of its annual “Best Resale Value Awards,” recognizing current and forthcoming vehicles for their projected retained value throughout the initial five-year ownership period.
The awards are based on projections from the November/December 2011 Kelley Blue Book Official Residual Value Guide, determined by a staff of automotive analysts. These awards honor vehicles expected to maintain the greatest proportion of their original MSRP after five years of ownership.
Low-volume vehicles and vehicles with a MSRP of more than $60,000 are excluded from award consideration, except in the luxury and high-performance categories.
