Want your car delivered right away? A used car is the best option.
It’s not normal for used cars to be more expensive than newer models. Although this is something we don’t often see, it can be explained by one simple fact: the automotive industry simply cannot deliver the number of new cars that customers want. The result is that used cars are more expensive than new ones. There is one difference: a used car can be delivered in just a few days. A new vehicle can take as long as 12 months depending on make, model, market, and specification.
New market research from iSeeCars has confirmed that used car prices have reached a record-high level. According to data from the search engine platform, an average used car of one year old costs 1.3 percent less than a comparable new car. Some models are more expensive than their counterparts on the dealer floor, but others can be as much as tens of thousands of dollars. These numbers are based upon asking prices for over 1.5 million used and new cars sold in the United States between January 1, 2022 and January 31, 2022.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has been a huge hit in the US used car market. A G-Class one-year old can be purchased for an average of 35.6 percent less than a brand-new model. The Tesla Model 3 comes in third at 17.8%, followed by the Ford Bronco Sport (16.4%) and the Chevrolet Trailblazer (15.6%). Here is a list of the 10 most expensive used cars, as ranked by iSeeCars.
