Bottom Line If you can live without top-level refinement and the absolutely latest technology, 2008 Kia Sportage is a fine little SUV, and considering its price, a genuine value. The 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara is an old-style compact SUV that favors hauling and off-roading at the detriment of on-the-road performance.

* Based on data collected from 12,566 classifieds ads
Where do you get these numbers?
We scan classified ads and analyze them to determine which car they relate to.
We combine this data with other sources like a vehicle's MSRP to determine the validity of each calculated price.
We do this over time and save the results so we can show you the second-hand price history of various models.

My car does not have data
For some models we don't have reliable data.
This can happen for various reasons, like we didn't find enough ads, or the price variance was too large.
In such cases, to avoid providing misleading information we don't show that model in the graph.
