Used car prices finally appear to be falling after two years of year-over-year price increases as a result of the global microchip shortage.

Despite the average used car decreasing in price, some used cars have increased in price. Here are the used cars that have had the highest price increases in each state:

The car with the highest year-over-year price increase is a tie between the Chevrolet Bolt and the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, in seven states. The vehicle with the highest price increase across all states is the Porsche 911 in Illinois with an 37.3 percent increase. Hybrid and electric cars account for 22 vehicles on the list. What Does This Mean for Consumers?

Used car prices are dropping, which means that shoppers who are waiting for prices to come down are now becoming more likely to find a used vehicle in their price range. While prices are still above pre-pandemic levels, the trend of falling used car prices is expected to continue presenting a buying opportunity in the coming months for shoppers who have waited to buy a used car over the past two years.
