Juke residuals looking good

Data released by CAP, provider of used and future residual values, show the all new Nissan Juke to hold around 54% of its value.

The estimates are based on annual mileage of 10,000 per year and over the traditional 3 year ownership cycle. Again these are only predicted values but shows that demand for the Juke is predicted to be high, with the bulk of the sales taken up by the private sector as opposed to relying on fleet.

Currently over 1,250 Juke pre-orders have been taken in the UK alone, with an estimated 10,000 across all European countries and of course 12,500 in Japan. The US gets the Juke later in the year but is expected to do well.
