Best Used Cars for their Value in 2019

In 2018, 40.2 million used vehicles were sold in the U.S., according to Edmunds, and the car experts predict that number to approach 41 million at the end of this year.

If you’re car shopping and looking for something new (to you), it doesn’t have to be fresh off the factory line. A used car is a viable option, and there are plenty to pick from that will hold their value. Here are eight to consider:

Nissan Altima

Car shoppers looking for a little luxury can find used car options that still hold their value. The Nissan Altima tops the list as one of the best-used cars listed for under $30,000. This midsize car offers excellent fuel efficiency and a roomy cabin for commuting, family trips, and just to spread out on a road trip. Altimas also features all-wheel drive and ProPilot Assist semi-autonomous driving technology to keep pace with their competitors.

Ford Fusion

Eco-conscious drivers are often left with few options when looking for a quality, used car that fits their lifestyle and focuses on the environment. But the Ford Fusion Hybrid makes the list for quality used cars that hold their value.

The 2018 models come with a three-year basic warranty, but can be upgraded with an extended car warranty to protect the life of your hybrid and keep a handle on unexpected costs. Extended warranties can provide options for cars four to 10 years of age and no more than 80,000 miles, vehicles for more than 50,000 miles, and those that mimic a manufacturer’s new car policy.

Honda Fit

A practical and affordable compact car, Honda Fits are ideal for urban driving and offer nimble handling on the road. This efficient little vehicle features plenty of utility in a small package that can deal with city roads and small parking spaces. Its hatchback is still deceptively roomy and can hold more than you would guess on a road trip or shopping spree.

Hyundai Accent

A used Hyundai Accent holds up its value with fuel-efficiency and roomier legroom. Choose from subcompacts or sedans that include decent-sized trunk space that expands by folding the rear seatbacks. Fold down for your camping equipment or after stocking up on groceries and pop back up when you’re done. You won’t find a lot of bells and whistles with the Accent in terms of technology, but it’s inexpensive and quiet to drive even on the freeway.

Kia Sedona

Popular with minivan enthusiasts, the Kia Sedona features strong safety scores, a comfortable ride, and supportive seats. Sedonas are ideal with families and road trippers looking to bring along more people and cargo. You’ll also find full sets of LATCH connectors for installing car seats, with a LATCH system that earned the second-highest rating of Acceptable for Ease of Use from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Jeep Wrangler

The iconic Jeep Wrangler provides explorers a place to pack up their hiking or camping gear and head out for an adventure. Special edition Wranglers like the Golden Eagle come with off-road rock rails, winch-capable bumpers, and a soft top to enjoy the great outdoors. Meanwhile, the Rubicon Recon Edition comes with 32-inch mud terrain tires, locking front and rear axles and 4×4 system for rugged durability. Ideal for outdoor lovers and anyone who wants to do a little off-roading, a gently used Jeep Wrangler keeps its value and is ready for play.

Toyota Camry

The quiet, comfortable, and stylish Toyota Camry ranks as one of the best mid-sized sedans for the value and is a reliable everyday car. Used Camry’s retail for under $25,00 and prove fuel efficient. Drivers who want an easy ride enjoy the automatic braking and pedestrian option in recent used models, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. There’s also a feature for blind-spot monitoring to keep you safe on the road.

Mini Cooper

For a retro yet stylish compact car for city driving, a used MINI Cooper offers a premium and luxurious vehicle on a reasonable budget. However, sources like AutoTrader recommend paying for all the extras and the latest used models to ensure the best quality and features available. Discerning car shoppers can also look for quality options with the MINI Next, a certified pre-owned program for cars under 5-years old that has fewer than 60,000 miles on the odometer.

A used car is a good option for savvy shoppers looking for an incredible value. Look for options from compact to minivans with a focus on reliability and a suitable warranty in place.
