How to Choose the Best Year

The best model year is usually not the cheapest year. It is the point where depreciation has slowed, inventory is still available, and mileage is not so high that maintenance risk dominates the savings.

Use the recommendation above as a shortlist, then compare ownership history, open recalls, trim level, and regional pricing before making an offer.
