Best Resale Value: Just One More Reason to Buy a Toyota

When you’re buying a new car, resale value might not be at the forefront of your mind. But, knowing just how well a vehicle will do on the resale front is very important.

The bad news is that vehicles generally depreciate in value—that’s a fact we can’t ignore. But, there’s plenty of good news for Toyota owners! Recently, Toyota was named the top brand for Kelley Blue Book’s 2012 Best Resale Value Awards. The awards are based on projections from the Kelley Blue Book® Official Residual Value Guide, which is determined by a skilled staff of automotive analysts. The projections are based on current vehicle data, sales data, market conditions for each vehicle, competition within vehicle segments, expectations of the future economy and the combined experience of Kelley Blue Book’s residual analysts.

Here at Westboro Toyota, we can’t say we’re all that surprised. We’ve known all along that seeing our customers drive away in a brand-new or certified pre-owned Toyota makes sound financial sense.

Want some examples? Well, we got ’em:

The Toyota Camry has been the best-selling car in America nine years in row, and for the past 13 years, it’s taken top honors for best resale value for a mid-size sedan!

The Toyota Tacoma compact pickup truck and FJ Cruiser mid-size sport utility vehicle (SUV) were also named Best Resale Value award winners in their respective vehicle categories this year. They were also among the top 10 vehicles for best resale value—nice going Tacoma and FJ Cruiser!

The bottom line: The awards honor vehicles expected to maintain the greatest proportion of their original list price after five years of ownership. So what are you waiting for? Get in here and peruse our wide selection of reasonably priced new and certified pre-owned Toyotas. Can’t go wrong knowing that if you decide to sell or trade-in your Toyota in the first five years you’ll be poised to get top dollar!

And before we sign off for the day, we thought it bears mention that Westboro Toyota makes it super easy for you to appraise your vehicle. Why not get your free trade-in value report from Kelley Blue Book today?
