WANT TO BUY A USED Mitsubishi CAR We were stunned, shocked and confused to find that an unusual variety of models have been cataloged by the folks at Kelley Blue Book (the bible for used car dealers) as the highest resale value after five years. Topping the list is the Toyota FJ Cruiser that holds no less than 63% of its original value, followed by Toyota Tacoma with 57% and Jeep Wrangler with just over 55%. Rounding out the top five Honda CR-V and Toyota 4Runner respectively with 51% and 49%. Surprisingly, no premium model, domestic or imported, entered among the first, or any of the traditionally top-selling vehicles like pickup trucks and midsize sedans. Furthermore, the fact that three of the first five are Toyota's reputation speaks clearly that mark for the quality of their products, new or used.
