What the numbers say

A 2014 Cadillac ATS still asks 40% of what a 2019 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 91 sedans we price, that ranks #82, below the 52% class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 4 (−40.8%). Mileage costs it 53%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 79 listings.
