Best-second hand cars in SA: Volkswagen, Mazda tops in vehicle resale values

Volkswagen is the brand with the most finalists out of the 11 categories in which brands will compete for the Gumtree Pre-Owned Vehicle Awards for 2018.

Volkswagen has nine finalists, based on the retained value of 2016 models with at least six months of value depreciation according to data provided by TransUnion Auto Information Services. 

The 55 finalists have been selected with the top five vehicles having the most favourable depreciation in each of the 11 categories qualifying for further evaluation.
