14 Cars That Don’t Hold Their Resale Value

5. Jeep Compass

Another SUV, or a crossover in this instance, has made the list in the Jeep Compass. And, it’s odd to see one of these make the list since certain Jeep models have gained a reputation for holding their value even for decades. However, that’s not the case with the Compass. This model is billed as the more fuel efficient Jeep SUV with a gas mileage of 26 MPG on the highway.

The price tag is fairly wallet friendly too at only $19,595 MSRP for a basic edition. However, if residual value is a concern for you, then you would likely be better off choosing a Patriot or a Cherokee. That’s because in five years, the Jeep Compass will only be worth 33% of it’s original value. That means your car would be valued at just under $6,000, and that’s a fairly big drop.
