The 2009 Ford Flex is predicted to hold more of its value than the 2009 Chrysler Aspen after three years, according to Automotive Lease Guide.
After 36 months, a front-wheel-drive 2009 Flex Limited is predicted to hold 41.3 percent of its value; the 2009 Aspen Limited with rear-wheel drive is expected to hold 30.4 percent. All-wheel-drive examples of each initially cost more, but they also hold more of their value like many all- or four-wheel-drive vehicles. For the Flex and Aspen, its 42.6 percent and 35.7 percent, respectively.
The Flex’s Limited trim level is the top trim in the lineup, starting at $34,960 for a front-wheel-drive Flex and $36,810 for an all-wheel-drive Flex. The Aspen Limited is the only trim level for 2009, and it offers rear-wheel drive for $34,730 and all-wheel drive for $37,115.
The most expensive trim level doesn’t always hold the most value. The Flex’s base trim, the SE with front-wheel-drive, wears the resale-value crown by holding onto 45.3 percent of its original MSRP.
