What is the Chevrolet Sonic's resale value?

Model YearCurrent Avg. PriceYear-Over-Year Change
2018$8,792−12.98%
2016$7,092−11.92%
2017$7,561−11.35%
2014$6,095−5.18%
2019$9,740−4.13%
2020$11,135−3.09%
2015$6,907−1.31%

Most model years show lower prices than a year ago, and several have dropped by double digits. That creates a favorable setup for used buyers who want more recent Sonic models at softer prices. A few years have moved down only slightly, which suggests steadier pricing in those cases.

The 2015, 2020, and 2019 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Chevrolet Sonic now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

  • Price trend: The 2019 model is at −4.13% versus a year ago, and the 2018 model is at −12.98%.
  • Deal availability: The 2019 model has 21.5% good and great deals, and the 2018 model has 23.6%.
  • Sweet-spot year: The 2016 model has the most listings at a current average price of $7,092.

If you're buying used today, the 2016 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the newest version, it may be worth waiting for 2021 inventory to mature.
