Even though the used car market , pre-owned cars are still in high demand. According to a recent study by certain vehicles are seeing some pretty dramatic price increases over the past month, while others have seen some fairly modest decreases.

According to iSeeCars’ data, the used car market saw an overall price increase of about 4.1 percent (around $941) from July to August. While a $941 isn’t a lot of money when it comes to spending tens of thousands of dollars on a vehicle, some cars have experienced price jumps that are fairly substantial.

Dodge Challengers saw a nine percent increase in the past month, with average price increases of around $2,600. This is interesting on a few levels. First of which Dodge makes a whole lot of these cars, so it’s not like they are difficult to come by. Though, of course, special editions like Demons have seen a jump in the pre-owned market so perhaps that is driving up the overall average.

Secondly, of the three muscle cars, the Challenger is the “oldest” in terms of getting significant platform or motor updates. Buyers in the market for some Mopar muscle might want to wait until the colder months when rear-wheel-drive cars historically aren’t in demand if they want to score a better deal.

At the number-two spot is the Range Rover Sport with an 8.9 percent increase which translates to a price jump of $4,226. What I find curious about Range Rover is that also pegged the Range Rover Sport as the fourth slowest selling car in the country. Units will sit on the lot for an average of 125 days, which is a long time for those of you who aren’t in the car-slinging biz. Perhaps there is a correlation between Land Rover dealers being overly ambitious with pricing.

Of course, most buyers want to know which cars are seeing price decreases in this challenging market, but it seems unless you are shopping for a Porsche 911 you won’t find significant savings by targeting the cars below.

Even with an average decrease of around $1,400, that is still only a drop of 1.1 percent for Porsche’s iconic sports car. That drop is likely only to apply to the more recent generation cars and anyone shopping for older models will find a market that is holding firm and sometimes increasing in price.

The 2017 Audi S3 Is For Tech Hipsters Who Need To Go Fast
At first the might just seem like an overpriced Volkswagen Golf R, and it kind of is. But that’s the wrong way to think of it. It’s better viewed as the experience of Audi’s larger, sportier models, distilled into a smaller, more affordable, more modest sedan. It’s a sprightly, luxurious...

For $2,200 Canadian, You Could Own A Freaking 1987 Porsche 944S. Should You?
There are two types of people: those who think Porsches should be air-cooled and ass-engined, and those who think the Porsche crest on their key fob will likely get them laid. Today’s 944S caters to the latter group, but does it come with a price that means getting screwed in...

How About This 1993 Ford F-150 Lightning Pre-Runner For $17,000?
The seller of today’s F-150 truck calls it a sleeper. Seeing as it’s a red and raised Lightning that’s kind of a stretch. Let’s see if this custom truck is worth lightening your wallet to the tune of its price. On Friday we talked a bit about what it might...

Would You Drop $7,500 On This Dropped 1984 Volvo 245 Wagon?
How low would you go? Today’s Volvo’s been lowered a bit, but not so much that snakes bellies have anything to fear from comparison. Let’s see if this sweet old wagon’s price likewise needs to be any lower. Somewhat unsurprisingly, yesterday’s dropped in a Crack Pipe loss. Perhaps a little...

For $1,300, Could This 1999 Isuzu Amigo Become Your New Best Friend?
Joe Isuzu got famous for lying like a rug—that was his schtick. His corporate masters would have preferred his fame arose from selling cars, but that was not to be. One car that they did sell was today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe Amigo and we’ll need to decide if...
