Summer Love: 10 Hottest Used Cars
2014–’19 Chevrolet Corvette: “The Chevrolet Corvette C7 is an outstanding sendoff to the front-engine layout, which is well equipped with a range of spectacular V-8 engines. More than just powerful, the Corvette has agile handling, a comfortable ride and a high-tech interior that is aging well so far.”

2014–’18 GMC Sierra: “Mechanically identical to the Chevy Silverado, the Sierra is also all-new for 2019, but its previous generation beginning in 2014 is a bargain for used trucks. The old Sierra might not have the cool MultiPro tailgate, but if you can live without a tailgate that can turn into a desk, then a used model is worth a look.”

2018–’19 Honda Accord: “The decline of sedans is evident by this list, but the fact the Honda Accord is the only one that made the cut says a lot about it. It has the basics of what you’d expect like comfort, safety, and reliability, plus the Accord adds lively performance, a lot of safety technology, and a luxurious interior in the high trims.”

2015–’19 Chevrolet Tahoe: “Our data shows certified pre-owned Chevy Tahoe models are highly searched on Autotrader — likely because they offer fairly strong value by providing a discount from depreciation while still coming with a manufacturer-backed warranty.”

2015–’19 Ford F-Series: “Equipped with an excellent range of engines, strong towing and hauling capabilities, and agile handling, the Ford F-Series is America’s best-selling truck for good reason.”

2012–’17 Jeep Wrangler: “The iconic Jeep Wrangler is a great buy on the used car market, especially if you’re shopping in the JK generation. The JK is a fun off-roader that offers a lot in family-friendliness with the four-door Unlimited model and any model after 2012 has a standard 4x4 drive, stronger V-6 engine and new automatic transition.”

2014–’18 Ram 1500: “Rounding out the “big three” in American full-size trucks is the Ram 1500. Among this truck’s many virtues are impressive interior materials, a smooth, comfortable ride, and an aesthetic that still refuses to be ignored today. What’s better? It can start as low as around $15,000!”

2016–’19 Toyota Tacoma: “The Toyota Tacoma midsize pickup truck was fully redesigned for 2016, enhancing everything people loved about the Tacoma — things like reliability, safety, and performance. The Tacoma impresses on-road with a well-built interior and a strong optional V-6 engine, which we recommend since it is a lot more affordable used than it is new.”

2014–’18 Chevrolet Silverado: “At the intersection of modern and affordable, the previous generation of the Chevrolet Silverado hits the sweet spot for value. This truck offers strong capabilities, a quiet, comfortable interior, and more traditional styling that consumers might prefer over the controversial look of the new generation.”

2015–’19 Ford Mustang: “Recently redesigned in 2015, a lightly used Ford Mustang has a lot of bang for the buck with a budget-friendly price. This generation of Mustang combines great looks, excellent performance, and strong value in one package that’s hard for consumers to resist.”
