There’s nothing more frustrating than when you’re shopping for a new car and the dealer asks if you want to trade it in. This is frustrating because he knows that he is going to be offered much less than what he could get if he sold the car himself. Fortunately, there are tools to help you determine a fair price for your car. You might even be able to take advantage of that information when you sit down to negotiate the price of your new car.

On the other hand, when deciding on a car, you may want to do some research on resale values. Some cars hold their value much better than others. Kelley Blue Book has compiled a list of 2010 vehicles with the best residual value. Here are some of them:

Audi A5 Audi introduced the A5 in 2007. This all-wheel drive coupe has received rave reviews for its styling, handling and fuel economy. Transmission options for the 2.0T consist of a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic with manual shift control, while the V6 version of this vehicle is automatic only. The A5 can get 22 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway. According to Kelly Blue Book, the MSRP is $36,825.00 and the fair purchase price is $34,984.00. They estimate that the resale value will be 63 percent after three years.
