Cars That Lose Value Fastest in Romania: Models Depreciating Over 60%

A carVertical study found that some cars in Romania lose over 60% of their value within five years, with the Opel Astra depreciating by 65%, potentially costing owners thousands of euros. The Opel Insignia (63.4%), Fiat Tipo (61.1%), Peugeot 308 (61%), and Renault Talisman (60.1%) also showed high depreciation. Experts say premium and electric vehicles often lose value faster due to high initial prices and maintenance costs. In contrast, the Ford Fiesta and Ford Focus depreciated the least among analyzed models at 59.2%. Financial analysts suggest buying a well-chosen used car and investing the savings, as a €10,000 difference could grow significantly over time.
