Bottom line: The used market remains strong as customers look for more affordable options, especially as new vehicle prices are near $50,000. Because of this, dealers should routinely watch their inventory mix to make sure it’s matching consumer demand.
“As for what is selling quickly, some electric and hybrid vehicles are still moving swiftly, with less expensive internal combustion engine light vehicles filling in the gaps and dominating older model groups,” AutoVision noted in the report.
