Surprisingly, they are all about the same. The market decides. If there were one $7-8000 car that was clearly superior to the others it would sell for $10,000.
What I’m saying is that you should consider everything in your price range. Rule out nothing. Since many American cars depreciate faster than the Japanese cars you can find 2-3 year old domestics selling for the same as a comparable 7-year-old Japanese model.
So learn how to check out a used car in general rather than focus on a small group of make/models. Again, the market decides.
