Volvo S60 Depreciation & Resale Value

Volvo S60 keeps an estimated 45% of its recent market value after 5 years — #439 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Volvo S60 retains an estimated 45% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #439 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 9 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Volvo S60 sheds about 19% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $43,095 it falls to around $19,392 by year five — a five-year loss near $23,703, about $12.99 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Volvo S60 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
