Best Used Cars You Should Buy

July 26, 2012


Edmunds.com has released their annual Used Car Best Bet Awards for 2012. These are vehicles with a combination of best-in-class reliability, safety, and availability.

The editors looked at cars that were between two and seven years old (this is when most of the depreciation has taken place, yet the car should still be reliable). They made sure the vehicles had good crash test-ratings and had a large supply to choose from, which means more competitive prices and better value. Here are the winners:
