Hyundai IONIQ 5 N
The best electric sports car under $100K
Starting at $67,500
Average selling price in 2024: $67,945

Used Car Prices Are Falling Quickly – Summer 2024 Update
Where are used car prices headed? How far have used car prices already fallen this year? Which cars have seen the greatest depreciation? We’re answering these questions and more with the latest used car market update for summer 2024. Want to see local price data and buying advice? Check out CarEdge Pro, now featuring Invoice Prices!
Used Car Market Trends in 2024
As of July 2024, there are 2.21 million used cars for sale in America, a number that has remained steady in recent months. Despite this stable inventory, used cars are sitting on dealership lots for longer. The days to turn, which indicates how long a car stays on the lot before being sold, has risen from 43 days in March to 53 days in July.
The average listing price for a used car is now $25,251, which is down 1.5% since early June and down 7% year-over-year. If we go back to 2022, at the peak of used car prices, we see a 12% decline. Here’s a surprising fact: retail used car prices are now on par with summer 2021 levels. Over the same three years, the cumulative rate of inflation has been 16%. Car prices are defying the inflationary trend seen in other parts of the U.S. economy. So, how much further will used car prices fall in 2024?
CarEdge Co-Founder and industry veteran Ray Shefska shared his thoughts on where used car prices are headed for the remainder of 2024. “The trend should continue downward, with some caveats. There will be a reduction in lease returns the second half of the year and all of next year, due to the market slowdown three years ago during the pandemic. I expect that the downward trend in used car prices will be about half of what we have seen through the first 6 months of the year. The younger 2 to 3 year-old cars with lower mileage will once again command premium pricing.”
Which Used Car Prices Are Falling Fastest?
We’ve compiled the used cars that are seeing the greatest depreciation in 2024, leading to more affordable prices for buyers today.
Vans
Minivan prices have fallen 7% since April, exceeded only by full-size vans, which have fallen 14% in the same period. Following the decline, here are the average selling prices for some of the most popular used vans today:
Average Selling Price: $32,474
Negotiability Score: Below average, 41 days of market supply
Average Selling Price: $39,779
Negotiability Score: Below average, 31 days of market supply
Average Selling Price: $33,197
Negotiability Score: Average, 47 days of market supply
EVs
According to iSeeCars, the average price of a used EV dropped by 29.5% from $40,783 in June 2023 to $28,767 in June 2024. Here are the latest prices for three of the most popular used EVs in America:
Average Selling Price: $28,844
Negotiability Score: Below average, 38 days of market supply
Average Selling Price: $24,096
Negotiability Score: Below average, 34 days of market supply
Average Selling Price: $32,681
Negotiability Score: Below average, 26 days of market supply
Luxury Crossovers
Another used car segment that has seen falling prices in 2024 is the luxury crossovers. Prices for these popular models have fallen by more than 40% in three years.
Average Selling Price: $33,105
Negotiability Score: Average, 48 days of market supply
Average Selling Price: $47,790
Negotiability Score: Above average, 64 days of market supply
Average Selling Price: $34,225
Negotiability Score: Above average, 66 days of market supply
Used Car Price Trends in 2024
The used car market is inching closer to normal following four years of disruption. Prices are falling, inventory levels are high, and cars are staying on lots longer. However, the market is complex, with each used car segment showing different trends. Minivans and full-size vans are seeing the steepest price declines, while used EVs and luxury crossovers also offer some serious opportunities for savings. As lease returns decrease, younger, low-mileage cars will likely become more valuable, slowing the overall price decline later in 2024.

The Safest Cars in 2024: Models You Can Count On
In 2023, nearly 6 million car crashes occurred in the U.S., with 40,000 resulting in fatalities. As accident rates rise, vehicle safety matters more than ever. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) conducts crash tests on dozens of car and truck models annually. From front and side-impact crashes to simple headlight performance, every aspect of the vehicle is scrutinized with one thing in mind: safety. The most recent IIHS tests found these 5 models to be some of the safest cars on the road in 2024.
The Safest Cars in 2024
All of these cars are rated ‘Top Safety Pick Plus‘ by the IIHS in 2024. The Institute’s ratings are based on the most recent crash testing and available safety features.
Note that the IIHS tests models when a new generation arrives, so if you see that the most recent test was a few years ago, that simply means that 2024’s model is the same car structurally. From EVs to SUVs, there’s something for everyone.
In the overviews below, we’ve included links to IIHS testing. A green rating of ‘G‘ indicates the highest possible score of ‘Good‘, and a yellow ‘A‘ represents ‘Acceptable‘ ratings.
1. Tesla Model Y
It’s the best-selling EV in America, and the safest too. Tesla VP of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy explained that absorbing as much energy as possible during a collision was a goal from the start of the vehicle’s design. The Model Y has one of the lowest probabilities of injury from an accident of any car on sale today.
Here are the key safety results from the Model Y IIHS testing:
Other available safety features
- Standard blind spot detection
- Standard lane departure warning & prevention
Consumer Reports rates the Model Y 72 out of 100 points. See their full review.

2. Subaru Ascent
If you’re in the market for a midsize SUV with all-wheel drive, the Subaru Ascent might be the perfect fit. It’s got space for up to eight passengers, which are well-protected considering the Ascent’s 5-star safety ratings.
