For the second time in three years, the Toyota brand has secured the Kelley Blue Book 2012 Best Resale Value Awards for its outstanding blend of quality, dependability and reliability. Toyota has demonstrated the importance of quality when it comes to the second-largest purchase in most buyers' lifetimes.
Although most car buyers consider the price the most important decision factor, more important is thinking three to five years down the road. Depreciation can be one of the biggest expenses a car buyer faces during the period of ownership. Spending less now may end up costing you more in the long run.
When you manufacture the best-selling car in America- The Toyota Camry - as well as the best-selling car in the history of the world- The Toyota Corolla - you learn a few things about how to build a reliable, durable and safe vehicle that holds up to the rigors of daily life. Not only does this equate to a higher resale value, but the outstanding reliability of Toyota vehicles also means lower maintenance costs over time.
