Cadillac XTS

Introduced in 2013, the mid-sized Cadillac XTS has an elegant design and plenty of luxury options but it still failed to make an impact. Unlike the ATS or CTS, the XTS doesn’t have top driving dynamics, nor does it have the luxury which the larger CT6 offers, which makes the XTS sort of Cadillac’s middle child. A front-wheel drive that has a 304 hp engine, the base price of the Cadillac XTS is roughly $45k, which is definitely a huge amount of money. However, it’s possible to buy a well-kept XTS with low mileage for half of the base price, meaning it is one of the best deals as far as mid-sized luxury sedans are concerned.

Smart ForTwo

The value a Smart ForTwo vehicle drops dramatically in the first 12 months alone. This is most likely because despite it being heavily advertised as an environmental car, its benefits ends there. Its gas consumption is remarkably low, the inside is very small and cramped, it has two-speed transmission, which is really unpleasant to many drivers and despite it being advocated safe due to its small size, many car buyers would like a mid-sized vehicle with a safety rating that is much higher. In just a year after the the Smart ForTwo car is purchased, it’s worth roughly 36 percent less or about $14k less.
