Edmunds.com, an Internet resource for consumer automotive information, has released its top best-value choices in the used vehicle market. Edmunds.com's 2004 used-car Best Bets are: Economy Car: 1997-2002 Honda Civic Midsize Car: 1997-2002 Toyota Camry Large Car: 1997-2002 Ford Crown Victoria / Mercury Grand Marquis Luxury Car: 1997-2002 Lexus ES 300 Sporty Car: 1997-2002 Mazda Miata Mini-SUV: 1997-2002 Honda CR-V SUV: 1999-2002 Nissan Pathfinder Minivan: 1999-2002 Honda Odyssey Small Pickup: 1997-2002 Ford Ranger / Mazda B-Series Large Pickup: 1997-2002 Ford F-150 Edmunds.com editors emphasize reliability, safety, and availability as the most important criteria when developing their best-value list. The editors also limited selection age range to 2-7 years because older vehicles typically have unacceptably high mileage, and newer units will not have experienced the initial depreciation hit that generally makes a low-mileage 2- or 3-year-old car the best value.
