Used Toyota Cars
Some of the best-engineered cars in the world come from Toyota, and some of the best used cars on the market wear the three-oval badge. Notable used Toyota cars include:
Small cars: the Toyota Echo, Corolla, and Matrix. All three of these cars, already affordable when they rolled off the line, have come to be considered extremely good values in the small used car market. The Corolla in particular, a Toyota staple for more than forty years, represents a great long-term used car value both in terms of maintenance and depreciation.
Family cars: the Prius (particularly the 2004-2009 model years) the Camry and Camry Hybrid are all outstanding values in the used car market.
Luxury cars: Although most of Toyota's luxury work is delegated to the Lexus marquee, the Avalon has been and remains an excellent choice for used car buyers seeking affordable opulence.
Sports cars: The sporty Camry Solara coupe and convertible offers not only value and reliability, but also the panache of a car seldomly seen on US roads. With the coupe having been discontinued in 2008 and the convertible in 2009, expect quality Solaras to be increasingly difficult to find on the used car market.
Small SUV: The RAV4 practically got the small SUV revolution started. In almost any model since its 1990s inception, the RAV4 is a great choice.
Midsized SUV: Legendary Toyota reliability has figured prominently in the development of its mid-sized SUV line. The Highlander, 4Runner and Sequoia are among the most sought-after used SUVs on the market.
Full-sized SUV: The Land Cruiser. For six decades the Land Cruiser has been the standard in full-sized SUVs. From offroad to military to carpooling environments the various iterations of the Land Cruiser have dominated all competition.
Vans: From 2004 forward, the front-wheel-drive Toyota Sienna van has proven to be a major value in family transportation.
Trucks: The Tundra four-wheel-drive, in both V8 and V6 power, are among the best values in used trucks on the market today. The compact Tacoma is considered by many experts to be the best used truck under $10,000
