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.

Volkswagen’s 2016 Jetta sedan offers something for everyone. Looking for an affordable and economical car that’s still fun to drive? The base S model’s got that. Wish you could own a BMW or Audi sports sedan but your budget says “no way”? The GLI will prove you wrong.
If you think cars like the Dodge Dart or Mazda3 look pretty sharp, the Jetta’s somewhat conservative styling might not float your boat. Dropping $19,500 on a Hyundai Elantra or Kia Forte nets you more features plus a better warranty, or you could turn to the all-wheel-drive Subaru Impreza.
