Toyota Named Best Resale Value Brand for 2013 by Kelley Blue Book

Toyota has earned Kelley Blue Book’s Best Resale Value Brand Award for the 2013 model year.  This is the second year in a row that Toyota has received the Best Resale Value Brand Award from KBB.com, and it has received this top honor in three of the last four years.

In achieving the award for the top brand, Toyota earned six Best Resale Value Awards for specific 2013 model year vehicle categories   In addition, four Toyota models (FJ Cruiser, Land Cruiser, Tacoma and 4Runner) earned spots on KBB.com’s 2013 Best Resale Value: Top 10 Cars list.

  “We are thrilled that KBB.com has selected Toyota for its Best Resale Value Brand award, and we appreciate Kelley Blue Book’s efforts to help increase consumer awareness as to the importance of resale value when purchasing a car“, said Bill Fay, Group Vice President and General Manager of Toyota division.

2013 KELLY BLUE BOOK BEST RESALE VALUE BY VEHICLE CATEGORY:

FULL-SIZE CAR:	Toyota Avalon
MID-SIZE SUV/CROSSOVER:  FULL-SIZE SUV/CROSSOVER:	Toyota FJ Cruiser Toyota Sequoia
MID-SIZE PICKUP TRUCK: FULL-SIZE PICKUP TRUCK:	Toyota Tacoma Toyota Tundra
MINIVAN/VAN:	Toyota Sienna

 
Since vehicle depreciation (or loss of value) is typically a car buyer’s primary expense during ownership, these awards, like all of KBB.com’s new and used vehicle information, are designed to help consumers make more informed car-buying decisions.
 
Kelley Blue Book’s Best Resale Value Awards are based on projections from the Kelley Blue Book^® Official Residual Value Guide, determined by a skilled staff of automotive analysts.  These prestigious awards honor vehicles expected to maintain the greatest proportion of their original Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) after five years of ownership.  Low-volume vehicles and vehicles with a MSRP of more than $60,000 are excluded from award consideration, except in the luxury and high-performance categories.

Two more happy customers! Way to go Valley Hi Toyota team!

"I always take our Toyota vehicles to this dealership for regular maintenance or repair. We own a Sequoia, Corolla and Toyota small truck. The service personnel are very friendly, professional and attentive to all detail. In order to save money at times we have taken our vehicle to other repair shops but never has the repair been satisfactory at all compared to the work done here at this dealership. I highly recommend this dealers hope's service department...it is worth the investment. I am always confident that when I drive away my vehicle will be fixed and safe for me to drive." -donnam2

"The service provided by this dealership is wonderful. It is easy to get an appointment, they take the car immediately noting any issues you are having, perform routine and diagnostic maintenance and have the car washed and ready within the timeframe quoted. The waiting areas are pleasant, include a play room for children and the staff are efficient and helpful. I would definitely rate these experiences as wonderful SERVICE." -yogavikki

Thank you for this great review!

"I went in to valley hi toyota and was in and out in a brand new corolla in a heart beat! I needed a car fast and they were quick to get me in and very helpful throughout the entire process. I was treated fairly and got a knockout deal. They were flexible to my needs and very friendly which made all of the hassels of car buying so much more bearable. Looking forward to all of my future business with them!" -Nick R.
