2012 Jeep Wrangler predicted to hold its value better than any other vehicle

The 2012 Jeep Wrangler will hold its value better in five years than any other vehicle, Kelley Blue Book predicts.\

The Wrangler has risen to the top of the compact SUV category in separate rankings by ALG and Kelley Blue Book, which predict future resale values.

Five years from now, Kelley Blue Book predicts, a 2012 Wrangler will be worth 55 percent of its current, new-vehicle price. That projected residual value put it at the top of Kelley Blue Book's compact vehicle category, up from second place last year, when the 2011 Wrangler's residual value was projected at 45.2 percent.
