Enjoying Residual Values for Ford E-Series Cargo Vans

Residual Values for Ford E-Series

The advent of Transit and Transit Connect signaled the dawn of a next-generation cargo campaign courtesy of the those at Ford Motor Co. With respect to the vans’ European styling and turbocharged efficiency options, the all-new carriers could even be considered the ushers of a renaissance among the industry’s commercial cargo catalog. By no means have Ford’s classic applications been kicked to the curb, however.

Recent auction data suggests that residual values for Ford E-Series and other classic cargo vans is on the rise. This is particularly noteworthy considering the fact that every other pre-owned vehicle segment is currently experiencing quite the opposite. According to a write-up from Paul Clinton of Work Truck Magazine, full-size vans will have seen a 1.7-percent jump in value by 2014’s conclusion—a stark contrast against the 12.4-percent fall expected for the pre-owned vehicle market at large.

In commenting on the residual values for Ford E-Series and other pre-owned cargo vans, Clinton notes that vehicles like Transit and Transit Connect are still a bit fresh for the auction market. It may be another six to 12 months before next-gen models make their way to bidding blocks across the country—and this provides some meaningful context for those considering the utility of a full-size cargo van.

Simply put, the particular data delivered by Work Truck is not meant to establish a comparison between Ford’s E-Series and the automaker’s next-gen Transit. Yet in accordance with Clinton’s analysis, the data does suggest that vehicles like Transit and Transit Connect have re-piqued public interest and concentrated attention on the segment’s many merits. Economic uptick in the commercial service sector is playing an important role as well.
