What’s My Trade Worth

Industry’s Largest Gain

Ford Motor Company vehicles, bolstered by improved quality, fuel economy and popular redesigned models, recorded the largest increase in residual values from the 2009 to the 2010 model year among full-line manufacturers.

The projected resale value of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles after 36 months in service increased by $1,310 per vehicle from 2009 to 2010 models, more than any other full-line automaker. This calculation is based on the straight average of all trim levels of each nameplate from ALG's January/February 2010 Residual Value Forecast with volume being weighted against R.L. Polk new vehicle registration data.

"When shopping for a new vehicle, we understand how important trade-in values are to customers,’ said Jason Hoover, President of Midway Motors.  “Ford’s improvements in quality and fuel economy have allowed us to offer more for used Fords.”  


Ford Surpasses Toyota in Average Residual Values

Ford already held a residual value advantage over its U.S.-based rivals. With the improvement in the 2010 model year, Ford narrowed the gap with leading Asian automakers, including Toyota.

Some Ford vehicles have now surpassed competing vehicles from Toyota in average residual values. The 2010 Ford Fusion midsize sedan, for example, is expected to be worth $687 more than the 2010 Toyota Camry after 36 months in service. And the residual value of the 2010 Ford Flex full-size crossover commands an $1,800 premium over the Toyota Highlander.

A steady stream of new products has helped boost Ford's residual values. For example, the redesigned 2010 Ford Taurus's projected average resale value after 36 months in service is $4,862 more than the 2009 Taurus. The Taurus was redesigned inside and out and features a host of new features and technologies.

The 2010 Ford F-150 earned the 2010 ALG Residual Value award in the Full-Size Pickup category, and the 2010 Ford Taurus and 2010 Ford F-Series Super Duty received Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com Best Resale Value awards for the full-size car and full-size pickup categories respectively.
