GMC Yukon Depreciation & Resale Value

GMC Yukon keeps 42% of its recent market value after 5 years — #464 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the GMC Yukon retains 42% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #464 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class by 15 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the GMC Yukon sheds about 17% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $71,714 it falls to around $30,263 by year five — a five-year loss near $41,451, about $22.71 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used GMC Yukon bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
