12 Cars with Best Resale value in India | From WagonR to Fortuner

What’s your prime concern when you step out in the market to buy a car? While most of the people look out for features, convenience, mileage and many more things, there are some people who are concerned about the future! Yes, you are not buying a particular car for eternity. You will have to upgrade someday or the other but you will be disappointed if that car doesn’t pay you back at the time of reselling. Resale Value should be one of the parameters that should be considered while buying a new car.

The initial market performance can determine if the car can get you a good resale value or depreciate like a stock market crash!
