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.

The VW Golf for 2016 offers European-inspired handling, safety and interior design, which make even the most basic Golf feel more polished and upscale than most domestic and Asian competitors. The diesel engine delivers impressive fuel economy and acceleration, while the GTI and Golf R will thrill driving enthusiasts.
If you prefer the safety of a trunk to the Golf’s open cargo area, a VW Jetta or even Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic will have to do. The Golf doesn’t offer a hybrid model and many gasoline cars now come close to the diesel’s fuel economy.
