Kia Stinger Depreciation & Resale Value

Kia Stinger keeps an estimated 59% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #228 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Kia Stinger retains an estimated 59% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #228 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 63% five-year average for Sports in its class by 4 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Kia Stinger sheds about 7% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $36,690 it falls to around $21,757 by year five — a five-year loss near $14,933, about $8.18 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Kia Stinger bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
