Japanese models once again sweep the No. 1 and No. 2 spots for most researched and purchased used vehicles in the third quarter, according to Edmunds.com’s latest Used Market Quarterly Report.

The most researched used vehicle last quarter was the Honda Civic, followed by the Honda Accord.

And even though Edmunds.com officials said the most researched list is normally “dominated by economical vehicles,” the BMW 3 Series still made it at No. 3.

Edmunds.com also shared there is a newcomer to the list: The Nissan Altima at No. 10.

The report states that the launch of a new generation likely brought attention to the model.

The top 10 most researched used vehicles in Q3, according to Edmunds.com, are as follows:

1.    Honda Civic
2.    Honda Accord
3.    BMW 3 Series
4.    Honda CR-V
5.    Toyota Camry
6.    Ford F-150
7.    Jeep Grand Cherokee
8.    Volkswagen Jetta
9.    Toyota Corolla
10.  Nissan Altima

Moving along to highlight the top 10 used-vehicle purchases for Q3, the top two units switched this time around.

Coming in at No. 1 was the Honda Accord, with the Civic in the No. 2 slot. The Toyota Camry joined its Japanese counterparts in the No. 3 position.

Edmunds.com also pointed out that trucks usually make both lists (most researched, and top purchased vehicles), because of their utility.

The Chevy Silverado 1500 (No. 4) was followed by the Ford F-150 (No. 5), showing evidence of this trend.

The top 10 used vehicles purchased in Q3, according to Edmunds.com, are as follows:
