How well does a Genesis hold its value?

Resale value is everything when you sell or trade. Because ForCar prices from the live market, you see how a Genesis actually depreciates — here's the median value by age across the brand's models, from real listings (compare with the typical depreciation curve by age):

FIG.02·Genesis Depreciation Curve — Value by Age
1 yr2 yrs3 yrs4 yrs5 yrs6 yrs7 yrs8 yrs9 yrs$30,458$34,262$26,646$16,446$14,925
RANGE $30,458 → $14,925·SOURCE ForCar · Genesis

A Genesis worth about $30,458 at one year old is typically down to ~$26,646 by five years — roughly 13% lost in the first five years. Open any model above for its own year-by-year curve.

Which Genesis holds its value best?

Not every Genesis depreciates the same. This is 5-year value retention by model — how much of its price each keeps after five years on the used market (higher = holds value better):

FIG.03·Genesis Models by 5-Year Value Retention

Retention = the median resale price of a ~5-year-old model versus a current one, from real listings. Luxury and high-powered trims usually drop hardest; practical, in-demand models hold on.

Does Genesis hold value better than other brands?

Every brand we price, ranked by how much of its newest price a five-year-old car still asks — the median across that brand's models. Genesis sits at #28 of 40, against a market median of 55%.

Trading in or selling your Genesis?

Know all three numbers before you walk in. Trade-in is fastest but lowest; selling private-party nets the most; a dealer's asking price shows the ceiling. ForCar's range gives you the leverage to negotiate from real data, not a salesperson's screen.
