The
data that is collected on sales of used cars is gathered from state to state
and looks at buying patterns in both large urban areas as well as rural. Over the years, certain trends have continued
to hold true. The used truck market
remains strong and there are select models of used cars that consistently sell
for a higher price-point than comparable vehicles.
According
to the National Independent Automobile
Dealers Association (NIADA), a used Ford F-150 is the vehicle of choice throughout
the majority of the country. It is
favorable viewed as a truck that not only performs well but has a reputation as
a solidly built vehicle that will last for many years. Second to the Ford truck is the Chevy
Silverado, which is one of GM’s best-selling vehicles and is a strong favorite
in used sales.
For
cars, a used Honda Accord has continued to top out as one of the most popular
choices. Since new car sales of the Accord have been extremely strong for many
years and the car has a reputation for longevity, there are plenty of used ones
on the market. The Accord and the Honda
Civic both have good resale value.
At
Emunds.com, they awarded the Ford Fusion as being one of the best used mid-size
sedans and praise the vehicle for style, safety features, a spacious cabin as
well as responsive driving dynamics. They give the best compact SUV/Crossover to
the 2006-'11 Honda CR-V with points for fuel efficiency and roomy passenger and
cargo space.
While
these lists make for interesting reading, when you are in the market for buying
a used vehicle, make sure to do your own research. There are many resources that can help you to
make a good choice such as getting a CarFax report on the
vehicle you want to buy.
