Prospective buyers have to balance the initial price tag&nbsp;with the cost of fuel, insurance, loan payments and potential auto repair or maintenance expenses. That&#039;s all in addition to elements like personal style, technology and performance, and combining all of these qualities into one vehicle can be extremely difficult.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To help drivers judge value, Consumer Reports releases an annual report detailing the vehicles that offer the best value. For the second year in a row, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Toyota\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">Toyota<\/a> Prius topped the list, thanks in large part to its impressive fuel economy. It also offers a low rate of depreciation, ensuring that&nbsp;motorists who are trying to find used cars like this hybrid are getting plenty bang for their buck.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The Prius&#039; 44 mpg overall is the best fuel economy of any non-plug-in car that Consumer Reports has tested,&quot; said Rik Paul, Consumer Reports&#039; automotive editor. &quot;Though it&#039;s not particularly cheap to buy, the Prius&#039; depreciation is so low that it costs less to own over the first five years than its initial MSRP. We call that a bargain.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Also ranking highly was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Honda\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">Honda<\/a> Fit. This vehicle generally offers a low initial price, but its dependability, fuel efficiency and safety features make it a worthy investment. The brands that achieved the best results include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Subaru\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">Subaru<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Mazda\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">Mazda<\/a>, both of which had a number of high-ranking automobiles land among the top choices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you&#039;re searching for a car with plenty of value, you&#039;ll want to look through the selection at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">New Jersey State Auto Auction<\/a>. The lot is home to hundreds of CARFAX-certified cars, trucks and vans, including some that offer tremendous value for drivers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To help
