What Buick Encore do most buyers choose?

The Buick Encore years with the most listings are 2018, 2019, and 2017.

What is the Buick Encore's resale value?

Most Encore model years are down year over year, and several recent years show double-digit declines. That creates a favourable setup for used buyers who want to step into a newer model at a lower price than a year ago. The smallest changes are concentrated in the older model years, which suggests they have moved more gradually.

The 2015, 2016, and 2014 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
