Why 2025 Is the Perfect Year to Buy a Used Toyota

In 2025, the market sees a surge in demand for dependable second-hand vehicles. Toyota continues to stand out for its lasting value and reliability, making it an ideal choice for Toronto drivers looking to buy a used car from Old Mill Cadillac Chevrolet Buick GMC.

Increased demand for reliable used vehicles

As the Vice President of Operations at Old Mill Cadillac Chevrolet Buick GMC, I've observed a growth of 42% in our inventory. This increase is primarily due to a rising demand for pre-owned vehicles priced under $30,000.

Considering economic uncertainties such as potential downturns and inflation, drivers in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area are opting for dependable vehicles that are cost-effective.

Toyotas are a preferred choice owing to their enduring worth.

At our dealership, we conduct a comprehensive 160-point inspection for every pre-owned Toyota to assure its dependability. Avoiding vehicles directly out of the production line, which lose about 15% of their value right after the purchase, and opting for a pre-owned Toyota from us enables you to economize while still acquiring a quality means of transportation suitable for Ontario roads.

Toyota's reputation for durability and value

The move from looking for reliable used vehicles leads us directly to Toyota's well-known durability and value. At Old Mill Cadillac Chevrolet Buick GMC, our team knows firsthand that Toyotas are built to last.

Take the Toyota Corolla and RAV4, for example. These models can go beyond 320,000 kilometres, a testament to their endurance. The Toyota Corolla is not just about longevity; it boasts a 2.0-litre Dynamic Force Engine with solid power at 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque.

For those needing more muscle, the Camry’s fifth-generation hybrid powertrain steps up with 225 horsepower.

Our Toronto drivers also appreciate savings in both cost and on-road performance over time. Vehicles like the Tacoma have earned praise, rated an impressive 9.5/10 by Car and Driver for their robustness.

It’s clear why choosing a used Toyota from our inventory at Old Mill Cadillac Chevrolet Buick GMC stands as a smart decision.  Choosing a used Toyota means investing in reliability and value that lasts.

Advantages of Buying a Used Toyota

Buying a used Toyota saves money, allowing drivers to get more car for less. These vehicles hold their value well, making them a smart choice for anyone looking to invest in a dependable ride.

Cost savings compared to new models

Used Toyotas offer big savings over their fresh-from-the-factory counterparts. After 3 to 5 years, the price of a Toyota can drop to two-thirds of its original cost. This means more money stays in your pocket.

Also, you'll pay less for insurance and registration fees on a used Toyota. It's smart shopping, especially when you consider that vehicles lose about 15% of their value the moment they leave the dealership.

Our team at Old Mill Cadillac Chevrolet Buick GMC knows these savings can make a huge difference for our Toronto customers. We're here to help find not just any car but the right car that fits into your budget and life perfectly.

Proven reliability and performance

Toyota vehicles are known for lasting a long time. Our team at Old Mill Cadillac Chevrolet Buick GMC has seen Toyota Corolla and RAV4 models that have driven over 320,000 kilometres.

They just keep going. The Toyota Camry's fifth-generation hybrid system is powerful too, making 225 horsepower. This means you get both strength and eco-friendly driving from the same car.

Now, let's take a look at some popular Toyota models to find the right one for your needs.

Lower depreciation rates

Used Toyotas like the Corolla and RAV4 keep their value better than many cars. Within three to five years, most vehicles lose up to two-thirds of their initial value. But, used Toyotas don't follow this trend as much.

They depreciate less than the market average. This means when you buy a used Toyota, it's worth more for longer.

Our team at Old Mill Cadillac Chevrolet Buick GMC knows how important value is to our Toronto drivers. We see it all the time with the high demand for these dependable models. The average price buyers pay for reliable pre-owned vehicles is around $25,500 CAD.
