Depreciation is one of the biggest costs to consider when buying a new car.
Buy a car which depreciates quickly and you could find yourself losing hundreds of pounds a week, even before you factor in the cost of running the thing.
So if you don't fancy haemorrhaging money when you buy your next motor, you have two options: buy second hand, or buy one of these.
The UK's leading car valuation specialists, Glass, have compiled a list of the ten slowest depreciation mainstream cars (five petrol and five diesel). The findings are based on three-year old motors with average mileages.
