Mark Beneke from the American company Westland Auto Sales says that, for example, the Toyota Camry rapidly depreciates in the first five years, but after this period the cars retain their value very well. This means the owner can drive a Camry for many years and still resell it for a decent price.
Cars from Mazda also quickly depreciate. 'This is great for those who are interested in purchasing a car that they can rely on for a long time at a very affordable price,' said Beneke.
