2012 Hondas win Best Resale Value Award

Kelley Blue Book, one of the leading online resources for car shoppers, announced the winners of their 2012 Best Resale Value Awards. The annual award recognizes current and upcoming vehicles that are expected to maintain a big portion of their original value after five years of ownership. And 2012 Honda owners earned some serious bragging rights because five Honda models received this great honor.

The distinction comes as no surprise to us at Howdy Honda; everyone knows the high resale value Honda’s retain due to their quality and reliability. But it’s good to be recognized and acknowledged by an independent third-party reviewer whose mission is to help consumers make an informed decision.

Many new car shoppers fail to realize the importance of a vehicle’s resale value during the purchase decision. A vehicle’s depreciation is a car owner’s primary expense during ownership, so KBB and Howdy Honda recommend shoppers to take into consideration the future retained value of a vehicle before making a commitment.

As KBB has let you know, Honda’s hold their resale value much better than other cars in the market. For this upcoming 2012 model year, KBB honored the following Honda cars with a Best Resale Value Award:

Honda Fit (Subcompact Car Category)

Honda Civic (Compact Car Category)

Honda Odyssey (Van Category)

Honda Civic Hybrid (Hybrid Car Category)

Honda CR-V (Top 10 Best Resale Value Cars)
