These Were the 15 Best-Selling Used Cars of 2023

With new car prices soaring, buying a used car was the more financially appealing choice in 2023. To find out which cars were the most popular with buyers, iSeeCars analyzed over 9.2 million used car sales from the last five model years (2018-2022) to find which models represented the largest shares of total used car sales in 2023.

While trucks ranked in the top two spots, the Ram 1500 was replaced in the No. 3 spot by an SUV.

“Trucks have been so dominant in the U.S. market for so long that it’s strange to see the Ram lose its top-three ranking, even to an SUV as popular as the Chevrolet Equinox,” Karl Brauer, executive analyst at iSeeCars, said in a news release. “This shift reflects the jump in gas prices during 2023, which led many consumers to move away from large trucks and SUVs and into smaller, more fuel-efficient models.”

Here’s a look at which used car models sold the most in 2023.
