What Buick Encore do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to draw more shopper attention because they give you more listings to compare and more chances to find a price that fits your budget. They also often sit in the middle of the model range, where value and availability can line up well.

What is the Buick Encore's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, and several recent ones show double-digit declines. That creates a favorable setup for used buyers who want to shop after prices have already moved lower. The smaller changes at the top of the table suggest some newer and older examples have softened less than the rest.

The 2022, 2016, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
