The top-selling pre-owned cars of the last five years

As a professional in the automotive field and industry, it is not surprising that the best-selling new vehicles also tend to be some of the best-selling used vehicles. iSeeCars, an automotive data company, conducted an analysis of 9.2 million used car sales over the past five years to identify the top-selling models. Interestingly, the best-selling used gas models also top the new vehicle sales lists, indicating a strong market demand for these vehicles.

The Ford F-Series and Chevrolet Silverado were identified as the two best-selling used vehicles, with the Ram 1500 losing its No. 3 spot to the Chevy Equinox due to the impact of higher gas prices leading consumers toward smaller, more fuel-efficient models. While the Ram only dropped to the fourth spot, the Toyota Corolla made the most significant improvement, jumping five spots, followed by the Honda Civic and others.

In the electric vehicle market, the Tesla Model 3, Model Y, and Chevrolet Bolt EV took the top three spots among the best-selling used EVs, with the Tesla Model S and Model X experiencing a decline due to their higher purchase price and lack of recent updates against newer models.

Looking ahead to 2024, iSeeCars expects these trends to continue as buyers seek to reduce purchase and ownership costs. Additionally, the introduction of used electric trucks to the market may impact overall rankings, although it is noted that General Motors is just releasing its models, and Ram won’t do so until late this year at the earliest, potentially affecting their rankings.
