What Toyota Corolla do most buyers choose?

The Toyota Corolla years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2023.

Higher-volume years usually give you more shopping choice, more price competition, and a better chance of finding the trim and condition you want. They also tend to be the easiest years to compare across listings because there are simply more examples on the market.

What is the Toyota Corolla's resale value?

Most Corolla model years in this table are moving lower year over year, which is helpful if you want to buy used after some of the initial price pressure has already worked through the market. A few older years are edging up instead, showing that certain well-kept examples still command steady demand.

The 2019, 2020, and 2023 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2015, 2016, and 2014 model years have held their value best, with prices flat to rising year-over-year.

Should I buy a used Toyota Corolla now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −3.04% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −1.75%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 38.6% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 37.9%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $21,938. The Toyota Corolla offers a practical, easy-to-live-with character that makes it a strong everyday choice.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Dynamically, the Corolla FX distinguishes itself with a lowered sport suspension and sport-tuned steering. Otherwise, it features the same mechanical hardware as the Corolla SE and XSE, including a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine supplying 169 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 151 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm.
• Tech: In addition to the new Corolla FX special edition, Toyota now offers a larger 10.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system in this compact car. If the size, design, and implementation of the new 10.5-inch touchscreen doesn’t represent progress, the underlying connected services technology does.
• Safety: Toyota equips every 2025 Corolla with the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (TSS 3.0) collection of driver assistance systems. Nevertheless, TSS 3.0 is an impressive offering in an affordable compact car.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
