Branded titles are harder to insure, finance and resell, so check the exact car first: run its VIN against the records.

How fast price falls with mileage

Measured on the 2014 Cruze, the model year with the most listings, so age does not mix in. Between the 50–75k and 200–225k bands the asking price falls 61%.

FIG.04·Chevrolet Cruze — price by mileage
Mileage	Price drop	Listings
50–75k miles	baseline	22
75–100k miles	−16%	54
100–125k miles	−28%	112
125–150k miles	−39%	100
150–175k miles	−42%	76
175–200k miles	−57%	23
200–225k miles	−61%	22

ROWS 7·SOURCE Live listings, 2014 model year only

From the 50–75k band to 100,000 miles the asking price falls about 28%; the next 100,000 miles take off another 45%, so this car loses more of its value later.

Which options hold value

The single biggest swing on a Chevrolet Cruze is transmission: MANUAL asks -10% against the median of its own model year.
