Best & Worst Used Car Values

If you're looking for the best deal on a used car, you should be focusing on the subcompact models - that's according to Edmunds.com Used Vehicle Market Report, which came out this week.

Prices in the sub-compact segment were down over 6% compared to a year ago, while other used car segments such as compact pickup trucks actually increased by over 10%.

Take a look at the best and worst used car segments below.

As always, if you're shopping for a new car right now, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to quickly see the best deals being offered in your area.
