Used car prices are falling in March 2025. Here's the latest data on used car prices from leading industry analysts.

07/27/2025

Used car prices are rising, as predicted, with the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index reaching its highest point since October 2023. Cox Automotive attributes this increase to tariffs, despite a potential cooling effect from some consumers buying early to avoid higher prices. 🚗📈

Luxury vehicles and SUVs saw the largest price jumps, while compact car prices declined. Used EV values rebounded slightly but still lagged behind non-EV price increases. Although used retail sales fell slightly from March, they remain significantly higher than last year.

🚗 How the Price of a Used Car Changes with the Seasons 🌤
Whether you're buying or selling a car, the time of year can actually make a big difference in how much you pay — or earn. Let’s break it down season by season so you know when the timing is right!

🌸 SPRING – The Season of Demand
Spring brings sunshine, tax refunds, and motivation to make big purchases — and cars are high on that list.

🔹 For Sellers: This is a great time to sell. More buyers are in the market, and they're willing to pay a bit more for the right vehicle. Families start looking for SUVs for summer road trips, and people are generally more active in shopping.

🔹 For Buyers: Expect slightly higher prices, especially for well-maintained cars in popular categories like crossovers, sedans, and hybrids. But there’s also more inventory to choose from!

☀️ SUMMER – Peak Season, Peak Prices
Long days, road trips, and vacation vibes mean more people are out shopping for cars.

🔹 For Sellers: If you have a convertible, sporty model, or family SUV — summer is your time to shine! Demand is high, and prices are often at their yearly peak.

🔹 For Buyers: It’s not always the cheapest season to buy, but you’ll find a huge selection. If you’re flexible on model or features, you can still score a fair deal — just be ready to compete with others.

🍁 FALL – A Shift in the Market
As school starts and vacation ends, buyer activity slows down a little — and so do prices.

🔹 For Sellers: It’s still a good time to sell, but you might need to adjust expectations slightly unless your vehicle is winter-ready (AWD, heated seats, etc).

🔹 For Buyers: This is a smart time to shop, especially for summer-type vehicles. Dealerships start to clear out inventory before winter, so you can negotiate more easily.

❄️ WINTER – Low Prices, Targeted Demand
Winter is typically the slowest season in the used car market — but that can work in your favor.

🔹 For Sellers: It can be tougher to sell unless your vehicle is winter-friendly. But if you’re selling a 4x4, SUV, or anything with AWD — you're golden. ❄️

🔹 For Buyers: This is one of the best times to get a deal. Fewer people are car shopping during the holidays, and sellers may be more open to negotiation.

Always check local trends. Some regions are more affected by seasons than others!
