RICHMOND, Va. — CarMax found that used-vehicle shoppers coming to its Web site in 2009 had diverse tastes. While the Honda Accord was again the most sought-after vehicle, newcomers such as the Jeep Wrangler and Chevrolet Silverado broadened the scope of potential purchases.

CarMax officials determined that the Honda Accord topped their list of most-searched vehicles for the fourth year a row. The rest of the Top 10 for 2009 on carmax.com mixed together several vehicle types and nameplates

The Ford F-150 followed the Honda Accord, with the Chevrolet Tahoe, the Ford Mustang and the Toyota Camry rounding out the first five units.
