Autotrader’s 10 Hottest Used Cars for Summer 2019
- Chevrolet Corvette (2014-2019)
The Chevrolet Corvette C7 is an outstanding send-off to the front-engine layout, which is well equipped with a range of spectacular V8 engines. More than just powerful, the Corvette has agile handling, a comfortable ride and a high-tech interior that is aging well so far. - Chevrolet Silverado (2014-2018)
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. - Chevrolet Tahoe (2015-2019)
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. - Ford F-Series (2015-2019)
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. - Ford Mustang (2015-2019)
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. - GMC Sierra (2014-2018)
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. - Honda Accord (2018-2019)
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. - Jeep Wrangler (2012-2017)
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 4×4 drive, stronger V6 engine and new automatic transition. - Ram 1500 (2014-2018)
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! - Toyota Tacoma (2016-2019)
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 V6 engine, which we recommend since it is a lot more affordable used than it is new.
