Which Car Holds Its Value Best? Here Are The 2013 Resale Champs

We all know that the value of a car crashes the moment we drive it off the dealer lot. Some do more, some less. Edmunds compiled which brands and makes hold their value more than others. On a brand level the most prudent cars are made by Acura (honorable mention to Lexus and Infiniti), and, for the more rugged types, by Jeep (honorable mention to Ram and Jeep.) However, people choose brands, but buy cars. So here are Edmunds' "Best Retained Value Awards" by segment.    Any of the cars on this list should hold their value longer than cars not on the list, says Edmunds.
