How this is worked out
These are asking prices from adverts, not what cars sold for. For each model we compare the median asking price of its cars 4 to 6 years old with the median for its cars 1 to 2 years old, and show the first as a share of the second. A higher share means the price falls less as the car ages. Only models with at least 10 cars in each age group are ranked.
Worked out from cars for sale on 15 November 2026. Car counts are rounded and shown as “about”.
Questions
- How is this calculated?
- Each model's median asking price at 4 to 6 years old is divided by its median at 1 to 2 years old. A model needs at least 10 cars in each age group to be ranked, and groups with fewer are left out, never estimated.
- Are these prices what a car sells for?
- No. They are asking prices from adverts for cars on sale now, which is where a seller starts. What a car finally sells for can be lower.
- Does this say what prices will do next?
- No. It describes cars for sale today. It makes no forecast.
