We’re just a few months from 2025, yet 2.2 million cars and trucks from the 2024 model year remain on dealership lots. While some car buyers may be tempted to wait for a 2025, others see the abundance of 2024s as a golden opportunity to negotiate a deal.
For this market update, we used CarEdge Insights to identify the new cars with the most remaining 2024 inventory as a proportion of their total inventory in September. We also factored daily sales rates into our rankings, with the goal of identifying which cars are truly the most negotiable. These models, with high supply and growing competition from incoming 2025s, are on track to sell at steep discounts as year-end sales approach.
Ford is grappling with a severe oversupply of 2024 Escapes as the year races to its conclusion. Although 2025s have only started to trickle in, Ford and its dealership network are facing mounting challenges with increasing inventory. With 47,000 units in stock and 146 days of supply at current selling rates, dealers will be increasingly eager to sell these crossovers with each passing day. Sadly, this classic compact crossover is being discontinued next year.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee comes in second with nearly 39,000 2024s still on the lot. With over 6,000 2025 models shipped and more rolling in, dealers are ready to make deals to move these 2024s. If you’ve been eyeing a Grand Cherokee, now might be the time to negotiate.
The Nissan Frontier is a mid-size pickup offered at bargain prices. Despite its affordability, the Frontier is a slow-seller. With over 14,000 units of the 2024 Frontier remaining, dealers are motivated to clear out inventory before even more 2025s arrive. One out of every four Frontiers on the lot is already a 2025 model, a statistic that is increasing with each passing day.
The Ram 1500 is consistently a best-selling truck, but even this popular pickup has a surplus of 2024 inventory. With over 8,000 2024 units remaining, dealerships are eager to move these trucks to make way for 2025s. This makes it a perfect time for truck buyers to negotiate.
The GMC Sierra 1500, a favorite among the full-size truck crowd, has a large stock of 2024 models waiting for buyers. With over 34,000 2024s still unsold, there’s room for negotiation, especially as more 2025 trucks hit the market.
The Nissan Rogue was once a top-selling compact SUV, but in 2024, it is piling up on dealer lots. With over 37,000 units of the 2024 Nissan Rogue still available, it’s one of the most negotiable vehicles right now.
The Hyundai Tucson, one of the best-selling compact SUVs in the country, is another model with a surplus of 2024 inventory. With over 24,000 units of the 2024 Tucson still on sale, buyers have a great chance to negotiate big savings.
If you’ve been thinking about a Hyundai Santa Fe, you’re in luck. With over 17,000 units of the 2024 model still in stock, there’s plenty of opportunity to score a deal. With nearly 14,000 2025 models already at dealership lots, now is a prime time to negotiate the aging inventory.
The Kia Sorento, known for its refreshed exterior and affordable price, has over 8,600 units of the outgoing 2024 model still available. With the arrival of nearly 20,000 updated 2025 models, the 2024 Sorento is highly negotiable right now. Whether you’re looking for a new family SUV or a daily driver, this could be your chance to get a great deal.
The Chrysler Pacifica, one of the few remaining minivans on the market, still has over 11,000 units from the 2024 model year on lots. If you’re in need of a family vehicle with space for eight, now is a great time to negotiate on the Pacifica.
Take Advantage Of Aging Inventory
With millions of 2024 models still on dealer lots and 2025 models arriving daily, there’s no better time to negotiate a great deal on a new car, truck, or SUV. At least that’s the case if you don’t mind missing out on features and perks that are new for 2025. Year-end sales are always your best chance for a new car at clearance prices.

Wondering which cars are driving off into the sunset? These are all the models that won’t be making it to next year. As automakers look to revamp their lineups and reshape their brand image, 18 car models have been announced for cancellation in 2025. Sadly, the most affordable new car in America is on the list. Whether it’s forever or merely an extended pause, here’s your complete list of discontinued cars for the 2025 model year.
Alfa Romeo inventory is the highest in the U.S. auto market as sales slow to a crawl. With the drop in demand, parent company Stellantis decided to axe the Quadrifoglio performance variants for both the Giulia sedan and Stelvio crossover.
Audi is canceling the A4 sedan after the 2025 model year. But there’s a catch: Audi is renaming it the A5, and making big changes to the sedan. We expect the last true A4s to arrive on dealer lots in mid-2025.
In November 2024, General Motors announced that production of the XT4 crossover will end in January 2025. The Kansas plant where the XT4 has been made will be retooled for production of the new and greatly improved Chevrolet Bolt EV.
We suspect that the Camaro will be back, but it’s gone for now. The last Camaros can still be found on dealer lots. Will the Camaro come back as an EV? It’s possible, but not confirmed.
The last Chevrolet sedan will roll off the final assembly line in November of 2024. Once a top-seller for Chevy, sedans are falling out of favor, taking this legend to the grave.
Following a downfall that culminated in a bankruptcy filing, Fisker is on track to cease operations. It’s a shame since the Ocean is a remarkable vehicle, at least until you turn it on and face a hectic suite of software issues.
As Ford makes way for EVs at the Oakville Assembly Plant in Ontario, the Edge has become a casualty. It’s possible that the Edge could return, but it will be absent in 2025. The ‘new’ Ford Edge is only sold in China for now.
Jaguar is saying goodbye to its iconic sports car, the F-Type. The F-Type has been a staple of Jaguar’s lineup for over a decade, but 2025 marks the end of its production.
The Maserati Ghibli, a mid-size luxury sedan known for its Italian styling and sporty performance, will be discontinued in 2025. Maserati is streamlining its lineup as it pivots toward electrification and focuses on newer models like the Grecale and the upcoming electric GranTurismo.
The average price paid for a new car in 2024 is $48,401. Crazy, right? That’s why we’re mourning the discontinuation of one the cheapest new cars in America, the Mitsubishi Mirage. Retailing from $18,015, the compact Mirage was a bare-bones budget option.
Long a classic in the car scene, the GT-R is on its way out. One can’t help but wonder if 2024 GT-Rs will be worth a fortune a few decades from now, similar to the high prices paid for older R34 Skyline models.
The Nissan Titan is one of the few models that seems to constantly have a 0% APR deal. You know what that means? It’s not selling. Nissan sold fewer than 20,000 Titans in 2023.
With the death of the Nissan Versa, the last new car under $20,000 is headed for the graveyard. This is a major hit for fans of ultra-budget vehicles around this very affordable price point. Following the 2025 model year, Nissan is discontinuing the Versa. The Sentra will stick around for now, and now holds the title of the most affordable new car in the United States.
Ram parent company Stellantis is in trouble with falling sales, below-average reliability, and underwhelming new models. As the multinational behemoth searches for solutions, one surprising move was the recent cancellation of the Ram 1500 Classic, which has been built in Michigan. A Ram representative told The Drive that dealer lots will likely be stocked with the last of the Ram 1500 Classics through much of 2025.
What was once America’s favorite all-wheel drive sedan will end its run in 2025. Subaru Legacy sales have been slipping for years as crossovers like the Crosstrek dominate. With the Legacy’s departure, Subaru’s average selling prices will climb quite a bit, too.
The S60 debuted in the US in 2000, but it’s at the end of the road in 2025. Volvo says it’s focusing on electrification, and is shifting focus to electric SUVs.
Just months after hitting the market, Honda, one of the last major automakers to go electric in the American market, is now out-selling its competitors. To say that the 2024 Honda Prologue has been a success would be an understatement. Is Honda’s first EV in America worth the hype? Here’s how the Honda Prologue compares to electric offerings from Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Tesla, and other new arrivals.
Honda Is An EV Sales Leader Right Now
Looking at the EV sales totals for the past 45 days (courtesy of CarEdge Insights), the Honda Prologue stands out at the top of the pack. This success is despite its recency, having been launched earlier this year. It’s also not cheap: the average selling price for a new Honda Prologue is $51,524, according to data from CarEdge Insights.
Of course, Tesla sells direct-to-consumer, and therefore we don’t have their data. Nor do we have numbers from Rivian, Lucid, or the now defunct Fisker. What we do have are fascinating insights that reveal who’s who in the U.S. electric vehicle market in 2024. at least among legacy automakers. Here are the top 10 EVs in America today, as measured by their 45-day sales total as of September 10, 2024. We’ve also included the current market day supply for each.

The Prologue Is A Chevy In Disguise
Did you know that Honda doesn’t manufacture the Prologue? As odd as it may sound, this is probably a good thing. In 2022, General Motors and Honda entered into a partnership that would help Honda leap into the EV space before it finished engineering its own electric powertrain. One year later, Honda backed out, but not before using GM’s Ultium electric powertrain for the Honda Prologue EV and Acura ZDX EV.
GM’s Ultium platform is good, but it’s not great. Ultium batteries power the Chevrolet Blazer EV, Equinox EV, the popular Cadillac Lyriq, and other models. The general consensus among owners and auto reviewers is that range, handling, and overall value are great. But for over $50,000, buyers should expect the latest and greatest technology. That’s not always the case with the Prologue.
Charging speeds are not miserable, they just aren’t on par with the competition from Hyundai, Kia, and Tesla. For example, a 20-minute charging session in a Hyundai IONIQ 5 is likely to take 30 to 40 minutes in the new Prologue. Performance aside, the Prologue is arguably the most normal-looking EV on sale today. It simply blends in with the crowd, as most Honda models do.
But the specs matter in the crowd of electric crossovers. Here’s how the 2024 Prologue compares to the top competition when it comes to range, charging speed, and price.

The Best Honda Prologue Offers This Month
Despite sales success, Honda continues to aggressively discount the Prologue. According to Motor Intelligence, the average manufacturer incentive for the Prologue was $7,035 in July 2024. On top of the discounts, the Prologue qualifies for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. GM manufactures the Prologue alongside the Blazer EV in Mexico.
This fall, the sales continue. Honda is advertising 0.9% APR for 60 months, or 2.9% APR for 72 months. Current Honda owners also get $1,000 in Honda Loyalty Cash. Leasing the Prologue is a sweet deal, too. Lease the Prologue AWD EX from $289/month for 36 months with just $2,999 due at signing. See the best new car deals this month.
The Honda Prologue Is A Great EV With Few Compromises
The Prologue is not going to last forever, at least according to Honda’s own plan for its next-gen EV platform. In July 2024, Honda and Sony announced that they will share the EV architecture from the upcoming “Honda 0” EV series, which is expected to arrive in 2026.
Should you buy the Honda Prologue as your first EV? It’s certainly worth the test drive. If an EV that blends in with the other crossovers on the road appeals to you, the Prologue is right up your alley. Just don’t forget that you have more options to choose from than ever before.
Here’s your one-stop guide to every electric vehicle currently on sale in the United States, plus a sneak peek at the models coming in 2025. Whether you’re eyeing a crossover, 3-row SUV, or an electric pickup truck, this comprehensive list has you covered. We’re keeping this page fresh with regular updates, so check back often as new models hit the market.
Did you know that depreciation makes up the biggest portion of the total cost of car ownership? When it comes to buying a new car, it’s important to consider how well it holds its value over time. Depreciation is the difference between the original sales price, and what the vehicle will be worth in the future. Some vehicles depreciate faster than others.
In this 2024 update, Toyota continues to dominate the list of cars with the best resale value, with multiple models making an appearance. Honda follows closely, proving once again that both brands know how to build cars that hold their value. Let’s take a look at the top contenders in terms of resale value in the first five years of ownership.
Jeep Wrangler
5-Year Residual Value: 75%
The Jeep Wrangler has long been known for its ability to retain value. After five years, it’s expected to depreciate just 34%, leaving you with a resale value of around $38,610 if you buy at today’s average selling price of $58,209. For off-road adventurers, the Wrangler’s value retention makes it a solid investment. See our full depreciation breakdown.
After a what feels like a lifetime, the 4Runner is getting a big refresh for 2025. We see no reason to worry about this legend’s reliability with the refresh, nor any damage to it’s phenomenal resale value.
Under normal ownership conditions, the Toyota 4Runner will depreciate just 39% after five years under normal use. With today’s average selling prices, this results in a resale value of about $31,593. If you’re looking for an SUV that holds its value while offering reliable performance, the 2025 4Runner should be on your short list. See our full depreciation breakdown.
The Land Cruiser is back after a short hiatus. As expensive cars sadly become the norm, it makes sense that Toyota would resurrect their luxury SUV with impressive off-road prowess. It’s quite expensive, especially for a Toyota. Today’s average selling price is a hair north of $73,000. After five years, the Land Cruiser retains 74% of its value, with an estimated resale price of $44,791. The time-tested Land Cruiser is a prime choice for anyone looking for a high-end SUV that keeps its value. See our full depreciation breakdown.
With a 5-year depreciation of just $10,127, the Toyota RAV4 is another excellent option for those looking for cars that hold their value. After five years, the average residual value will be around $27,520, making it one of the most practical choices for compact SUV buyers. See our full depreciation breakdown.
The Honda HR-V, the #3 crossover in America in terms of sales, retains 73% of its value after five years. Considering an average selling price of $29,164 when new, the average resale value after 5 years comes out to $21,266. It’s a great option for those who want a smaller SUV that still holds its value well. See our full depreciation breakdown.
The Honda CR-V is a top performer in the small SUV segment, losing just 28% of its value after five years. That leaves CR-V owners with an estimated resale value of $22,354 when starting at an average selling price of $38,461. The Honda CR-V is not just reliable; it’s a smart financial choice for those who care about SUV resale value. See our full depreciation breakdown.
They say it’s shockingly fun to drive considering the attainable price point. There’s yet another reason to love the Miata: low depreciation. The Mazda MX-5 Miata retains 72% of its value after five years, with an expected resale price of $23,885. Brand new, the MX-5 Miata sells for $36,239 on average as of 2024. Known for its sporty handling and fun driving experience, the Miata is one of the top choices for sports car buyers who also want excellent resale value. See our full depreciation breakdown.
The Toyota Tacoma is arguably the best pickup truck on the road for holding its value. After five years, it retains 72% of its value on average. That means after a new selling price averaging close to $47,000, buyers can expect a resale price of around $34,000 after five years. Its combination of reliability, durability, and value makes it a standout among mid-size trucks. See our full depreciation breakdown.
The Toyota Corolla proves that compact sedans can retain their value exceptionally well. With a 5-year depreciation of just 28%, a new Corolla purchased today is expected to retain 72% of its value. Its resale value, low cost of ownership and excellent fuel efficiency help the Corolla sedan survive the modern era’s shift to SUVs and crossovers. See our full depreciation breakdown.
No longer available as a sedan, the Impreza is officially a hatchback for 2024 and 2025. The Subaru Impreza holds onto 72% of its value after five years, with an expected resale price around $19,882. Subaru’s reputation for reliability and standard all-wheel drive make the Impreza a smart choice for those looking for value retention in a sedan that can handle every season. See our full depreciation breakdown.
When it comes to finding cars that hold their value, these cars, trucks, and SUVs are at the top of the list. Time and time again, Toyota and Honda continue to dominate. For 2024 and 2025, other brands like Subaru and Mazda also offer strong contenders for those who shop with resale value in mind.
