What the numbers say

A 2015 Chevrolet Impala still asks 54% of what a 2020 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 82 sedans we price, that ranks #39, right at the class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 7 (−33.8%). Mileage costs it 39%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 540 listings.
