Best Used Car Bargains
Every once in awhile, they update their "cheat sheet" for potential used-car buyers, where they select the vehicles that will give you the most value for your money.
There are a couple of criteria each vehicle must meet in order to make the list. First, it has to be a good quality vehicle - absolutely no lousy cars allowed on the list. And second, the ideal vehicle, for whatever reason, just wasn't popular with buyers. That means the residual values have fallen quickly, resulting in a much more attractive price.
Many of these vehicles have been discontinued, which explains why they're such good bargains right now. Visit the AutoSavant Cheat Sheet for more detailed summaries for each vehicle.
