With used-car values beginning to drop for the first time in years on average falling by 3.5 percent in October, the largest such dip in two years according to the National Automobile Dealers Association in McLean, Va., picking a new vehicle that holds onto its value steadfastly is particularly crucial.

Pick a comparable model thats estimated to hold 5 percent more of its value than average and it will return an extra $2,650.
