Used Cars that Generate Most Attention Online & Most Sales on the Lot

During the second quarter — which garnered 9.2 million sales for the used-car industry, according to the Used Market Quarterly Report from Edmunds.com — one brand, in particular, managed to snag the top two spots on both the list of most-researched used vehicles on Edmunds.com as well as the list of most-purchased used vehicles at franchised dealers.
Grabbing these coveted positions was Honda, whose Accord and Civic models ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, on both of Edmunds' lists.
The site said that the top 10 most-researched vehicles actually remained the same in Q2, except the Civic and Accord have swapped spots.
Coming in at No. 3 is the BMW 3 Series, followed by the Toyota Camry and F-150 rounding out the top five of most-researched rides.
"The top 10 most-researched vehicles are typically dominated by economical vehicles," Edmunds reported.
The complete top 10 most-researched used vehicles on the site for Q2 is as follows:
1. Honda Accord
2. Honda Civic
3. BMW 3 Series
4. Toyota Camry
5. Ford F-150
6. Honda CR-V
7. Jeep Grand Cherokee
8. Volkswagen Jetta

For the top 10 purchased vehicles at franchised dealerships, according to Edmunds.com data, the Accord and Civic are in the top two spots, respectively, as well.
In spot No. 3 is the Toyota Camry, with the Chevrolet Silverado (No. 4) and Ford F-150 (No. 5) rounding out the top five.
Edmunds.com officials shared that the Civic moved up from the No. 3 spot in Q2, "commensurate with its increased research by consumers."

Commenting on the appearance of pickup trucks in both the most researched and more purchased lists, the company explained, "Trucks usually make both lists because of their utility."
