    What makes and models of cars tend to hold their value best on the Irish market?
    I am referring to the categories of supermini, medium sized saloon/hatchback and small SUV.

    Vw polo, golf serious value retention. Also the octavia. But if you add extras and spec them up way beyond base price they'll devalue much more.

    Dacia Sandero and Duster have unreal residual values.

    Why is that? I would expect the opposite to be the case.

    The car with the extras will be worth only.very marginally more thsn the base car at 3 years old so you will have lost more on the high spec car.
    Alot easier sold though.
