New vehicles depreciate the minute they roll off of the dealership lot. Used vehicles are often considered to be better buys by many consumers because of how quickly new vehicles depreciate. Finance personality Dave Ramsey thinks buying a new vehicle is a poor investment.

Some vehicles depreciate more quickly than others. A high rate of depreciation can play a huge role in deciding whether or not to purchase a specific make and model. ISeeCars.com claims that the average new vehicle is kept for about 8.4 years. Imagine owning a vehicle, attempting to sell it when you’re ready for a new vehicle and learning that your purchase has decreased in value by 70%+.

Some vehicles retain their value well. Market anomalies like the Toyota Tacoma actually appreciate over time in some cases. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case for the Hyundai Palisade.

According to CarEdge.com, the Palisade can depreciate as much as 47% over the course of five years. This means that the Palisade will lose most of its value after the 8.4 year-new vehicle average ownership period. If CarEdge.com’s depreciation estimate is accurate the $33,600 2022 Hyundai Palisade will have a value of $17,808 after five years. It could depreciate by over 79% after the average 8.4-year period of ownership. So, the Palisade may be a great new midsize SUV, but its depreciation rate is poor.
