How much will my car be worth in two years?

I was wondering if you could advise on a website which would provide predicted retained values for cars? I am looking at buying a new car and given depreciation will be the largest cost it would be good to compare various model's predicted residuals

Sorry, I don't believe in this for a number of reasons, the most pertinent of which is that they are misleading. They are always based on a percentage of the original list prices of cars and take no account of the fact that some may be discounted by up to 30 per cent, and that some may be specced up with extras that can add £30,000 to their list prices. The only thing that is relevant is the amount of hard cash you lose. And no one predicts that or can accurately predict that.
