The Value of These Cars Is Dropping Faster Than Snow in Winter

The Cadillac CTS Fades Fast In Value

Starting around $45,000, the Cadillac CTS offers a relatively affordable entry into the luxury sedan space. With enough bells and whistles, it can easily hit $60,000. For that price, you'd hope it holds value like a fine watch---but that's not quite the case.

In reality, the 2015 CTS dropped 37% in value in its first year. Still, the CTS is a solid performer and built to last. If you plan to keep it long-term, depreciation might not matter as much---just don't count on a big trade-in return.
