2-Year Forecasted Depreciation
*Depreciation for the last 12 months of the private party resale value.
Annual Depreciation is an estimation of what your vehicle's value might be over time based on an average of similar vehicles. Estimations are calculated by comparing Kelley Blue Book Private Party Values of vehicles similar to yours over time, as well as forecasts from Manheim Auction data comparing current and projected auction values against current Kelley Blue Book Private Party and Trade-In Values. This is not a guarantee of actual depreciation. Local weather conditions, market factors and driver performance will also impact your vehicle's actual depreciation.

Highlights of the 2016 Sonic include a starting price around $15,000, a fuel-economy rating that reaches up to 40 mpg when equipped with the optional turbo engine, and snazzy tech features like a touch-screen display and in-car Wi-Fi.
If many highway miles are in your future, consider stepping up a size to something more substantial like the Chevy Cruze or Honda Civic. Parents of new drivers may want to check out the Scion iA, which comes standard with safety features like a rearview camera and low-speed collision-prevention system.
