Mitsubishi Lancer
The Mitsubishi Lancer has a 35 percent depreciation rate. Although it is advertised as being reasonably priced, its depreciation is very low in the first year (not a good sign). The Mitsubishi Lancer costs $4,000 less than the Mini Cooper’s base model, but, when the expected cost of ownership is compared side-by-side, the Cooper costs $5,000 less. For those going back and forth between a new Lancer and an old one, this is something to think about.
