Used Car Prices Rise while New Car Deals Emerge amid Model Shortages and Loan Rate Hikes
-
Used car prices went up in September but new car prices dropped slightly. The UAW strike has not impacted prices yet but likely will in October.
-
Interest rates on new car loans hit a 15-year high in Q3 2022, making monthly payments the highest on record.
-
Some popular models like the Ford Bronco are in short supply, so prices may rise. Used versions of scarce new cars could also go up.
-
But many 2023 models have huge discounts in October 2023, including the Ram 1500, Kia EV6, Hyundai IONIQ 5, and Alfa Romeo Giulia.
-
Discounts range from 12-15% off MSRP on certain models like the Ram 1500 Tradesman and Kia EV6.
