2008 Volkswagen Jetta SEL Sedan 4D Depreciation
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.

KBB.com Review
If you’re looking for a sedan with European ride and handling capabilities, the 2008 Volkswagen Jetta offers German engineering at an attractive price.
If you’re looking for that "old-school" VW look and feel, the fifth-generation Jetta’s styling doesn’t convey the same sense of youthful enthusiasm as its predecessors. Although improving, VW’s reliability and repair history still lag behind its Japanese competitors.
