As Autotrader awaits the arrival of the new Chevrolet Corvette’s mid-engined C8 model, it describes the Corvette’s C7 as “an outstanding send-off to the front engine layout.”

“More than just powerful, the Corvette has agile handling, a comfortable ride and a high-tech interior that is aging well so far,” Autotrader said in a news release.

Autotrader listed the Corvette as one of its 10 Hottest Used Cars for Summer 2019, praising it for its “agile handling, a comfortable ride and a high-tech interior that is aging well so far.”

Autotrader's 10 Hottest Used Cars for Summer 2019 list features the most-searched cars, trucks and SUVs on Autotrader’s website from Jan. 1 to July 8, 2019, ranked by search volume.

Following is the rest of the list, in alphabetical order:

— Chevrolet Silverado (2014-2018): Autotrader describes the Silverado as being at “the intersection of modern and affordable.” The company says the previous generation of the vehicle “hits the sweet spot for value.” In addition to complimenting the vehicle’s quiet, comfortable interior, Autotrader praises the Silverado for its more traditional styling that consumers might prefer over what it describes as “the controversial look” of the new generation.

— Chevrolet Tahoe (2015-2019): Autotrader says possibly because it offers fairly strong value by providing a discount from depreciation while also featuring a manufacturer-backed warranty, certified pre-owned Chevy Tahoe models are a highly searched vehicle on Autotrader.

— Ford F-Series (2015-2019): The F-Series is America’s best-selling truck for good reason, Autotrader said, complimenting its strong range of engines, its towing and hauling capabilities and its agile handling.

— Ford Mustang (2015-2019): Autotrader praises the budget-friendly price of a lightly-used Ford Mustang, also noting its 2015 redesign. In one package that’s “hard for consumers to resist,” according to Autotrader, this generation of Mustang “has a lot of bang for the buck,” according to the company. Autotrader says the Mustang looks good, performs well and has strong value.

— GMC Sierra (2014-2018): Autotrader notes that the Sierra is mechanically identical to the Chevy Silverado and is also all-new for 2019. But Autotrader describes the Sierra’s previous generation beginning in 2014 as “a bargain for used trucks.” Autotrader said the old Sierra might not have what it describes as “the cool MultiPro tailgate,” but the company says that buyers should give the used model a look, “if you can live without a tailgate that can turn into a desk.”

— Honda Accord (2018-2019): Autotrader acknowledges that by looking at this list, the decline of the sedan is evident. But the Accord is the only sedan to make this list, so that says a lot, Autotrader said. The Accord, according to Autotrader, offers the basics in the areas of comfort, safety and reliability, while also adding “lively performance, a lot of safety technology and a luxurious interior in the high trims.”

— Jeep Wrangler (2012-2017): The Wrangler, which Autotrader describes as “iconic,” is a great used-vehicle buy, according to the company. That is especially true when buying in the JK generation, the company said, describing the JK as “a fun off-roader.” Autotrader said the JK is family-friendly with the four-door Unlimited model. Any model after 2012 features a standard 4×4 drive, stronger V6 engine and new automatic transition, Autotrader said.

— Ram 1500 (2014-2018): The 1500 rounds out the "big three" in American full-size trucks on the list, and Autotrader says the vehicle offers “many virtues.” Those include quality interior materials, a smooth, comfortable ride and an “aesthetic that still refuses to be ignored today.” Making the vehicle an even better choice is its starting price as low as around $15,000. 

— Toyota Tacoma (2016-2019): The full redesign of the Toyota Tacoma midsize pickup truck for 2016 enhancing the features that people loved about the vehicle, according to Autotrader. That includes attributes such as reliability, safety and performance. Autotrader said the Tacoma is impressive on-road because of features such as a well-built interior and a quality optional V6 engine. Autotrader recommends that option “since it is a lot more affordable used than it is new.”

Autotrader executive editor Brian Moody described all of the vehicles on the list as “hot in their own way.”

“But one thing that won't burn you this summer is their price,” Moody said. “These used cars represent significant savings over their brand-new counterparts and offer great value while maintaining a modern feel. All are smart choices that will save shoppers some extra cash to plan their next weekend getaway.”
