Finding an automobile that does not need a lot of maintenance and can fetch a good price in the future is tough, though not impossible to find. Here are four cars with high resale values that rarely need repairs.
Toyota Tacoma
According to Joe Giranda, the director of sales and marketing for CFR Classic, the Toyota Tacoma is a midsize pickup that earns praise for not only toughness, but a strong resale value.
The 2025 Tacoma starts at $31,590, and after 5 years, Giranda said it “will still be worth approximately 67% of its original value.”
As for repairs, Giranda explained, “Annual repair cost is around $673, and major repairs are rare, with only an 18.5% chance over 10 years. This model’s reliability comes from a strong suspension system and its straightforward design enhanced by Toyota Safety Sense features.”

Honda Civic
Starting at $24,250, the Honda Civic retains 62.5% of its value after 5 years, and its owners spend an average of about $368 per year on repair costs, Giranda said.
“This reliability is primarily a result of the efficient engines and quality build,” explained Giranda, adding that there are a number of factors that cause the Civic to stand-out as an excellent buy among vehicles within its class.
Subaru Outback
The 2025 Outback starts at $29,010 and “retains roughly 70% of its original worth after five years,” Giranda said, noting that the annual repair cost of $847 is offset by the moderately low chance of major fix-it jobs for the next decade.
“Moreover, the Outback’s spacious and trim technologically advanced interiors, paired with its superior symmetrical AWD and drivetrain, make it a truly reliable vehicle,” Giranda added.
Toyota 4Runner
“Because of its exceptional durability and off-road prowess, the Toyota 4Runner is regarded as a solid SUV option among cars with high resale value,” Giranda said.
With a starting MSRP of $40,770 for a 2025 model, the Toyota 4Runner remarkably only loses about 30.2% of its value after five years, according to Giranda, who emphasized its strong resale value.
“Owners spend around $514 annually on repairs, and the risk of major breakdowns is very low due to its sturdy body-on-frame construction, which contributes to its reliability and toughness,” Giranda explained. “The combination of great resale value, off-roading capabilities and spacious interiors certainly justifies the premium price of this SUV.”
