For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is shaped more by condition, mileage, and maintenance history than by the model’s basic appeal, so a careful inspection and vehicle-history check matter.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 models.

Which Toyota GR86 trim should I buy?

What Toyota GR86 do most buyers choose?

The Toyota GR86 years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right color, mileage, and price combination. They also often sit in the sweet spot between newer features and broader availability.

What is the Toyota GR86's resale value?

The overall pattern shows mixed movement, with several newer years easing down while a couple of older recent years have edged up. That gives used buyers some room to shop, especially among the newer model years where prices have softened.

The 2023 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2022, 2023, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Toyota GR86 now or wait for the next model?

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The 2.4-liter flat-four engine makes 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, and the manual transmission reaches 0-60 mph in the six-second range while the automatic lands in the mid-six-to-seven-second range.
• Tech: The standard eight-inch touchscreen works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Toyota also provides a 7-inch digital instrument cluster with Sport and Track layouts.
