Hottest Selling Used Cars

Hottest Selling Used Cars in America

The auto industry is keen on telling us how new-vehicle sales are doing, as are car reviewers and most of the publications and websites that focus on the industry.

But what about pre owned cars and trucks?

A year ago, the team at iSeeCars.com was able to glean that information by looking at the best-sellers of  2013 in the 20 largest U.S. cities coupled with information on the top pre-owned cars buyers were searching for at dealerships and on websites.

Some will surprise you, though others may not if you’re already scouting for your next pre-owned car.

Pre-Owned Cars of Interest

The venerable Honda Accord, which has been at the top of new-car sales for three decades and makes up 2.3 percent of the used-car market, takes the top honors as the most popular pre-owned vehicle. The Toyota Camry came in at a close second and at nearly the same selling price, with the Nissan Altima rounding out the top three.  The average used sales price of all three Japanese entries was just over $15,000.

Known for its incredible gas mileage when it entered the market, along with its reliability and longevity on the road, the Honda Civic came in fourth at an average price of just over $13,000.

Finally, an American-made car makes it to the most popular pre-owned car list, with the Ford F-150 muscling in to round out the top five with an average resale price of about $22,300.  The Ford F-150 has also been the top-selling vehicle overall in America for 30 years.

A German manufacturer comes in at No. 6: The BMW 3 Series. BMW’s entry-level luxury sedan accounts for 1.6 percent of the pre-owned market, with an average price of about $13,000.  That’s the same average price for a used Toyota Corolla, which comes in in seventh place.

Two Chevrolets, the Impala and Malibu, come in at eighth and ninth, respectively.  Reviewers at iSeeCars.com speculate that the Impala’s long-time use as a fleet vehicle may have helped it place on the list with the Malibu, Chevy’s midsize sedan.  Their average sale price was in the range of $11,000 to $13,000

Finishing the top-10 most popular pre-owned list was the Ford Escape, accounting for about 1 percent of the pre-owned market and fetching an average price of about $17,500.
