At PureDrive, we believe in maximizing the value of your car and making the car buying journey a truly enjoyable experience. While purchasing a new car, one aspect that is often overlooked is the future resale value of the vehicle. Whether it's the end of a lease or a change in circumstances, understanding how different factors can influence the value of your car when you decide to trade it in or sell it is crucial.

Getting the details right

Various elements, such as the car's model, specific year, badge, color, and additional options, can significantly impact its resale value. Genuine rare and special editions usually tend to retain their value better over time, as long as they are authentic and not just cosmetic upgrades to sell a superseded model before a new one is released.

However, even if you opt for a non-special edition model, choosing a car that reflects your desires with the right color, trim, badge, and options not only enhances your driving experience but also adds value at the time of changeover, potentially saving you thousands of dollars.

A real example

In today's dynamic market, certain makes and models hold their value better than others, especially if you drive less than 15,000 km per year. These vehicles have the potential to become collectibles, making lower mileage even more desirable. Take, for example, the BMW 1M coupe, produced from 2011 to 2012 and widely regarded as one of the greatest BMW driver's cars ever made. Despite being over a decade old, these models, with approximately 60,000 km on the odometer, still command a value of around $90,000, only slightly lower than their initial price of around $100,000. Such examples highlight the resilience of certain cars in the used car market.
