The expert appraisers and analysts at Kelley Blue Book, a firm based in California, have picked the 2005 vehicles most likely to hold their value over a period of five years.
The Irvine, California-based firm Kelley Blue Book, founded in 1926, has specialized in establishing vehicle value and arguably become the authoritative source for used car values in the US.

In its most recent study, Kelley Blue Book has offered a detailed forecast of how well 2005 model year vehicles should retain their value over a period of five years.

The results are excerpted from the September/October 2004 issue of the "Kelley Blue Book Residual Values Guide". The findings are based on US vehicles and market conditions, but the models assessed are, with few exceptions, sold in Canada as well.
