Well, others call it \u2018residual value\u2019 but whatever terminology used, it simply refers to the amount of the vehicle during the original purchase which is maintained over time, say, 5 years of ownership. And this amount will help you determine how much you\u2019re going to get in return if you sell or trade your semi truck. In other words, what you expect to make after reselling your existing property is the resale value of that property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, we just don\u2019t pinpoint head-on which vehicles have the best retained value as we wish.
