Why exactly does this need to be graphed? I don't see any benefit from graphing nor do I see what to graph. You could make a scatter plot with two sets of data, one for Toyota, the other for Honda, however there is no benefit from this.

Was there a certain formula you were instructed to use? Some like:

Used price= amount of depreciation each year(Number of years) + New Price Although that would be odd because that assumes all cars depreciate at the same amount.

It just feels like there's something missing.

take the average price of each of the different types of cars in the different year categories and graph that.
