North American consumer researcher Edmunds has handed its inaugural ‘retained value’ award to Lexus.
According to Edmunds, buyers of 2011 model Lexus vehicles can expect their car to still be worth 48.1 per cent of its price after five years - the highest of any luxury automotive brand.
For buyers that translates into better re-sale values and those who lease their vehicles should enjoy lower lease costs due to the higher projected value of a Lexus at the end of the lease.
