New 2010 nissan pathfinder
Nissan pathfinder are also named in the top five performers. Among the worst performers for used values at three years are the mitsubishi shogun – suffering around double the depreciation of the lexus at an average of 16. 5 per cent per annum – and mercedes m-class and jeep cherokee both at 16. The kia sorento and volkswagen touareg complete the bottom five in used car expert’s figures. Editor matthew tumbridge commented: “depreciation is the biggest cost to motorists, but it’s so easy to avoid being stung if you plan ahead using our price guide. In the current economic market, it can make owning a car a lot less stressful. “if you want to save even more, you can study the year by year figures that we publish in the magazine each month, and you can then beat these figures by, for example buying 6 month old cars and selling after 12-18 months. However, another report from hpi names the land rover discovery 4 as the best performer. “the bmw x6, land rover discovery 4 and range rover sport make up the top three on percentage of retained value,” says martin keighley of hpi.
