Buying a car is one of the best ways to invest and preserve your capital. However, not every machine is suitable for such a cunning operation. There are quite a few cars that quickly lose value in price three years after purchase, but most importantly lies in the fact that after a few years such a car may simply be unrealistic to sell on a secondary market. This applies to both quite prestigious models and cars from the budget segment.
1. Renault Laguna
At one time, this French hatchback was recognized as the worst investment car. This is because after three years of operation, the average price tag of a car has been reduced by 44%. Even so, selling Renault Laguna is becoming quite difficult. Much better in this price segment, Russians are buying up Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat and Toyota Camry.
2. Jaguar xf
Cool and stylish, the Jaguar XF is far from being a car to invest in. In 2-3 years, the car loses in price about 42% of its original value. As you might guess, the car is also not very popular in the secondary market. A car that you can take only for yourself and only at the dealership.
3. Cadillac cts
Getting a Cadillac CTS on the primary market is easy. The car is not that expensive. However, if we are talking about the fact that the car will have to be sold in the next few years, then it is worth considering the rationality of the choice. In three years, the Cadillac CTS will have lost almost 40%. This is largely due to the fact that not all compatriots like the faceted design of the car.
4. ZAZ Chance
Officially, ZAZ Chance has not been sold on the domestic market for a long time. Nevertheless, this car is the clearest example of how good cars in general can fall in price in the secondary market. Auto competes with Daewoo Lanos, which is much better on the secondary market.
5. BMW 7-Series and BMW 5-Series
In the secondary car market, modern "Bavarians" are actively losing out to Mercedes-Benz. It is surprising that there are usually not many complaints about BMW on the market. However, for some reason it is very difficult to sell a solid car. As a result - a 41% loss in price already 2.5-3 years after the start of operation.
The fifth series loses in value about 40 percent after it leaves its dealer building.

6. Citroen Berlingo VP
An economical, hardworking and reliable car that will be almost the perfect workhorse, but absolutely not suitable for the role of an investment vehicle. The main problem is that Citroen Berlingo VP is actively used by private taxi companies in Europe. This, as you might guess, does not add auto popularity to the secondary market.
7. Volvo S80
This car is driven by the happiest people on the planet. That's because a car thief won't take a Volvo S80 even if he gets paid. It is extremely difficult to resell a car. There are a lot of offers on the market that discount up to 39% of the initial cost. So, the car is definitely not suitable for the role of a "bank". However, he runs briskly.
