Toyota CorollaWhen it comes to compact cars, the Toyota Corolla is one the most dependable ones out there. In fact, RepairPal ranks the Corolla first in reliability among 36 common compact cars. The site also says the annual repair cost is $362, down from an average of $526 for compact cars in general. The other cars it's compared to in these rankings include the Volkswagen Jetta, Honda Civic, and Chevy Cruze — all cars that also might be in consideration for you if you are looking for a used compact car.Not only is the car reliable, but you can find them for relatively cheap. A new 2023 model starts at $21,700, and you can expect to spend even less on a used model. However, don't expect to find any deals that are truly out of this world – Corollas hold their value quite well, and even a 2016 model sells for close to $18,000. Mileage and other factors come into play here, but it's clear the Corolla comes with very few concerns for somebody looking for a dependable car for a fair price.Toyota PriusAnother reliable Toyota to target in the used market is the Prius. Going off RepairPal again, the Prius comes in 10th out of 24 in the midsize car rankings, but there's more than meets the eye. The annual repair cost for a Prius is $408, making it the third lowest of the top 10 behind the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.With used cars, there's always a fear they'll break down sooner rather than later since they already have a few years — and a few miles — under their belts. Seeing the low repair cost of Prius owners can bring a sense of relief, but there are still some things to be aware of. Chances are you're not going to be in the market for a 2012 or earlier model, but those are typically not recommended due to engine issues. The same goes for the 2016 Prius, so be on the lookout for that if you're on the hunt for a Prius — especially if the price seems too good to be true.Toyota CamryThe Camry is arguably Toyota's most reliable car — at least when it comes to their midsize offerings. It ranks third in most reliable midsize cars according to RepairPal, and that makes it the number one Toyota option on the list. The average annual repair cost is just $388, so it's much cheaper than its competitors in overall maintenance costs.However, those factors do make it a somewhat pricy car, even on the used market. Picking up a 2020 model could still run you close to $25,000. It becomes a lot more affordable as you go back in the years, but then we're talking about a car that's pushing a decade old — although, thanks to its reliability, that might not be a huge issue for would-be buyers. The fact that these cars hold their value so well could ultimately price some people out of the used market, but there's no denying the Camry is one of the most dependable used vehicles on the market.
