Volvo S80 Depreciation & Resale Value

Volvo S80 keeps an estimated 37% of its recent market value after 5 years — #491 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Volvo S80 retains an estimated 37% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #491 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 16 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Volvo S80 sheds about 18% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $26,000 it falls to around $9,697 by year five — a five-year loss near $16,303, about $8.93 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Volvo S80 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
