The last six months of 2022 brought softening car prices after 18 months of gains. Used car prices are down 17% at the wholesale level, and retail prices are finally coming down. Will new car prices drop in 2023? Will we continue to see used car prices drop in 2023? Here’s what the data tells us.
Used Car Price Trends in 2023
Expect used car prices to continue a steady decline through at least the first half of 2023. For new cars, it’s a bit more complicated, as we explain below.
From March of 2021 through early 2022, used car prices climbed by over 50%. Just as used car prices began to soften in mid-2022, inflation soared through the roof, acting as a parachute for falling prices.
Used car prices have declined since mid-2022. Expect prices to continue dropping in 2023.
Still, no matter how you look at the data, used car prices have fallen over the past six months. Data from industry analysts at Black Book shows that retail used car prices have decreased consistently as demand decreased, mostly due to interest rate APRs shooting up dramatically. It now costs thousands of dollars more in interest to finance a car, especially for big borrowers with 72+ month loans.
Industry analysts at Manheim track used car prices. Used car prices are likely to continue falling into 2023.
In 2023, all signs point towards used car prices continuing to fall. If you’re wondering where all of these lower prices are, there’s a good reason for that. The most common metric used to track car prices is transaction price, or how much a buyer actually pays for the car. This is different from the sticker price. Dealers have been slow to drop sticker prices, but they’re much more willing to negotiate with buyers who put in the effort.
Why are cars more negotiable? Used cars aren’t selling as quickly, and rising interest rates mean that floorplanning costs are putting pressure on dealerships to sell soon, rather than hold on to inventory. Every day a car sits costs them money.
How Much Will Used Car Prices Drop?
Don’t expect used car prices to freefall in 2023, barring a severe economic downturn. Prices will in all likelihood continue to trend downward, becoming slightly more negotiable with each passing month.
Demand for affordable vehicles remains high, but unfortunately dealers are stuck trying to cover their losses. What losses, you ask? Thousands of car dealerships quite frankly paid too much for cars at wholesale auctions over the past year. Now that prices are falling, dealers are trying to squeeze every last dollar out of each deal. Therefore, we expect softening used car prices in 2023, but only moderate month-to-month price declines.
On CarEdge Car Search, we’ve been seeing used cars sitting on dealership lots for longer, and as floorplanning costs rise with interest rates, dealers are dropping prices.
Prices for this 2019 Ford Explorer have been dropping each month. This is commonplace across the market for mainstream models, but not for electric cars or some hybrids.
New Car Prices in 2023
Don’t expect MSRPs to go down
For mainstream models, dealer markups may become a thing of the past
You CAN negotiate new car prices in 2023
Inventory is climbing back, but will never return to ‘normal’
There’s less optimism on the new car front, but 2023 will still bring better prices to those who are patient and willing to negotiate.
In 2021, the chip shortage slammed automakers, and new car inventory was down to roughly one quarter of pre-pandemic norms. Now, new car inventory levels are increasing, slowly but steadily. Over the past year, new car inventory levels in the United States have risen from a low of about 900,000 cars per month to 1.6 million cars per month, and we expect to see inventory numbers increase closer to 2 million cars per month in the near future.
These numbers are still below historical norms, but automakers have increasingly made it clear that inventory will never be as high as it was back in 2019.
There’s a lot of pent-up demand for new cars, especially when it comes to hybrids and EVs. For most if not all of 2023, expect popular models to fly off the lot as quickly as automakers can produce them.
For other more mainstream models, it will once again be possible to negotiate new car prices below MSRP. In fact, our members are reporting more success with new car deals already. Check out some of their amazing success stories.
Incentives Remain Very Low
According to Kelley Blue Book, manufacturer incentives remain near all-time lows around 2% of the average transaction price. In late 2021, incentives averaged 4.3% of ATP. Go back to early 2020, and incentives averaged 11% of transaction prices. Wow!
Why are new car incentives going to remain low? Automakers have been forthright about their intentions to keep inventory low, even after supply chain challenges are put behind us. Without a glut of new cars waiting to be sold on dealer lots, there’s no reason to bring back big incentives. This post-pandemic strategy is a win for dealers and automakers, at the expense of vehicle affordability for buyers.
Electric Vehicle Prices in 2023
In November of 2022, the average transaction price for an electric vehicle in the U.S. was $64,249. That’s $16,000 more than the average price paid in the overall auto market. As you can see in the graph above, EV prices have remained parallel to the overall market for years. That could soon be changing, but not for reasons you’re likely to expect.
Automaker executives have recently said that price parity for their electric and combustion lineups is just a few years away. Are EVs going to get cheaper that quickly? A few new, lower-priced EVs are on the way, but that’s not the main factor that will likely turn their price predictions into reality.
What is? Take a look at where MSRPs are headed for all new cars, including those powered by internal combustion engines. CarEdge Auto Expert Justise Lasley says that signs point towards electric vehicle prices remaining high, but traditionally-powered models will continue to receive MSRP hikes, ultimately resulting in ‘price parity’.
Simply put, EV prices may have peaked (and on average may start to fall), but other cars will get more expensive, possibly even catching up to EVs.
However, there are a few affordable EVs we’re excited about. All of these will be available in late 2023.
2023 Fisker Ocean (2023 builds will be $60,000+ trims, but Fisker claims that they will start producing a $40,000 variant in 2024.)
Don’t forget about the original affordable EVs, despite their charging faults. The Chevy Bolt, Nissan LEAF, Kia Niro EV and Hyundai Kona EV are all worth a look if you can handle hour-long charge times.

The Takeaway: Negotiate Car Prices, Don’t Pay Markups
Yes, you can expect car prices to drop in 2023, but in most cases, you’ll have to work for it. Dealers are holding out with higher prices, hoping that buyers who don’t keep up with the market will stumble into their showrooms.

As we head into December 2022, new car inventory is the highest it has been in nearly two years. Finally, it seems that automakers are climbing out of the supply chain problems that brought the industry, and car buyers, to a halt for much of 2021 and 2022. Which car brands will have the best deals in December? Who will have the most inventory on the lot? We spoke to CarEdge Auto Experts Justise Lasley, Mario Rodriquez and Phil Nader to find out.
Be sure to check out these other CarEdge member favorites too (updated monthly):
The Lexus RX continues to be a great deal option with high allocations to dealers before the refreshed 2023 model arrives. It’s not just new 2022 Lexus models, either. CarEdge’s Mario Rodriguez said that low-mileage used Lexus models are priced very well right now.
“December is the best month for Lexus, which should bring some good incentives. Target end-of-year car sales for the most leverage at negotiating a Lexus deal.”
One of our CarEdge+ members just got a great deal on a Lexus UX 250h using CarEdge tools and the empowerment that comes with understanding your deal. Check that out here. We’d love to help you save thousands of dollars on your car purchase!
CarEdge’s Phil Nader highlighted Cadillac’s higher inventory numbers and overall luxury price trends. Luxury car brands have seen the largest price declines over the past six months. This is most obvious with used luxury car prices, but new luxury models are more negotiable than at any point earlier this year.
“Cadillac is seeing higher inventory levels and an average incentive of $2,600,” Phil said. “Expect to see pricing under MSRP on the CT4, CT5 and XT4, XT5 and XT6. Buyers should feel confident that prices can and should be negotiated to 5% below MSRP.”
However, General Motors CEO Mary Barra has indicated that GM will never return inventory to pre-pandemic levels, making GM leaner and more efficient. In other words, they won’t have as many reasons to discount prices if they intentionally keep inventory below historic norms.
The Mazda CX-9 and other models are available with good manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts. Mazda just dropped their lease financing to 0% APR, so leases are looking very attractive. For example, right now the following Mazda lease deals are advertised for these 2023 models:
Mazda3 Hatchback: $271/month for 30 months with $2,481 due at lease signing
Mazda CX-5: $315/month for 24 months with $3,314 due at lease signing
Mazda CX-9: $367/month for 24 months with $3,462 due at lease signing
Outgoing 2022 model-years have great financing offers right now. The 2022 CX-9 has 1.9% APR for 36 months with no payments for 90 days. Most other 2022 Mazda models have 2.49% APR right now too.
We expect even better Mazda deals in the second half of December.
One of our members successfully negotiated a great deal on a 2023 Mazda CX-5. The dealer was still pushing back, but as you can see here, Mazda dealers are motivated to sell, despite their determination to force junk fees.
Right now, our CarEdge Auto Experts are helping Nissan buyers with negotiable deals on the Nissan Altima, Rogue and Murano, especially in the mid-spec SV trim. Mario says that the best Nissan deals are in the Northeastern U.S., but good Nissan deals are becoming more common in the rest of America too.
These are the best Nissan offers this month:
2.19% APR for 36 months: Nissan Altima
2.69% APR for 36 months:
Nissan Versa
Nissan Sentra
Nissan Maxima
Nissan LEAF
Nissan Kicks
Our CarEdge+ member was even able to seal the deal on a Nissan Pathfinder Platinum at MSRP using CarEdge’s proven negotiation tactics. See our member’s amazing accomplishment here.
Note: The best Nissan deals may be short lived. Of the automakers on this list, Nissan faces the most severe ongoing inventory shortages. Nissan’s U.S. sales tumbled 31 percent in the first nine months of 2022. In November, further production cuts were announced. The Altima, Frontier and Titan will become harder to find in a month or two.
Luxury cars are negotiable today, and the prices will continue to drop in December. CarEdge members have successfully negotiated 7-10% off of MSRP on the Audi Q5 and Q7.
Sedans such as the A5 can be had at or near MSRP, as proven by CarEdge member Elan recently. We expect more negotiability in December as year-end car sales get underway.
Audi is offering finance deals right now, with most models available at 3.99% APR for 72 months. Most other automakers are limiting their competitive APR offers to no more than 48 months, so this is a rare opportunity.
BMW prices are negotiable as luxury prices soften.
Our Auto Experts are helping members negotiate 6-9% off MSRP for the BMW 3 and 5 series. The BMW X3 and X5 can be negotiated 6-9% off MSRP in some regions.
One of our members had a MASSIVE win with a BMW M340i xDrive recently. They negotiated $2,000 off of MSRP on one of the most difficult cars to find in the country right now. We’re confident this is a sign of even more negotiability to come with BMW and other luxury brands.
CarEdge Auto Expert Mario says that Alfa Romeo models are quickly becoming negotiable in late 2022. The Stelvio should be possible at 7-10% below MSRP. In fact, bringing the price below MSRP should be your expectation for at least the Stelvio in December.
What If the Dealer Won’t Budge?
At the very least, don’t pay over MSRP for the cars mentioned above. If your preferred dealer isn’t ready to negotiate pricing on these models, you should expand your search radius. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I myself saved $4,000 by purchasing my Hyundai IONIQ 5 a few hundred miles away from home. You likely won’t have to go that far.
We could see better deals from Ford, GM and Stellantis (notably Ram and Dodge) in December. Their inventory is higher now, and that’s a great sign for buyers.

New car inventory is rising, and that motivates automakers to offer better incentives. Cyber Monday 2023 will be a great time to buy if you’re in the market for a new car. Before you run out to buy a car on Cyber Monday (November 27), here’s what you need to know:
Auto loan rates now average north of 7% for new cars, and 14% for used cars. Leasing is one way to avoid paying interest, especially for well-qualified buyers (those with decent credit scores). Here are some of the best value lease deals in November:
Whether you’re in the market for a new or used car, a lot can change in the span of a month. Cyber Monday car deals are just the tip of the iceberg. In 2023, new car inventory is much higher than in recent years. There are A LOT of 2023 models still needing to be sold, especially when it comes to General Motors, Ford, Jeep and Ram.
So, what’s the difference between taking advantage of Cyber Monday car deals and waiting a bit longer? Those with patience are likely to be rewarded with the best deals yet in 2023: year-end car sales. Let’s take a look at why this is so…
Floorplanning costs are skyrocketing. Did you know that dealers finance the cars on their lots, much like car buyers do? You might have noticed that interest rates are rising. In fact, the average new car APR is now 10%. Dealers are paying more in financing costs for floorplanning, and by December, rates will be even higher. Car buyers will have more leverage in the final weeks of December, especially on vehicles that have been sitting on dealer’s lots for months on end.
Dealers will need to rotate inventory. No dealer wants to be the one with the old stuff, especially when it comes to newly redesigned or discontinued models. As the new year approaches, dealers warm to the idea of negotiating below MSRP for some models. Expect deals on 2023 models, less so for 2024 models.
Everyone wants a bonus. Most dealers dish out year-end bonuses to salespeople who made the most sales. December is crunch time! They’re ready to cut a deal, and you’ll be there to use that leverage to your advantage with end-of-year car deals.
In summary, there will be better new and used car deals in December. We’ll have the best year-end car deals posted here.
Cyber Monday Car Sales – The Complete List
We’ve sorted through ALL of the ads to find you the biggest and best Cyber Monday car deals in 2023.
0% Financing Offers
Interest rates average north of 7% for new cars, so it’s a big deal when zero percent interest offers return. The following models are all advertised for 0% APR in November:
Get your hands on these models with 0.9% APR for qualified buyers. Most low APR offers are for remaining 2023 model year inventory. It’s great to see some excellent Mazda deals this month. Mazda has been rising in popularity in recent years, with good reason.
The GMC Sierra at 0.9% APR is hard to beat. Hyundai’s electric vehicles are the fastest-charging EVs for under $50,000. Since they lost the federal tax credit, they’ve been slow sellers.
These are the models advertised with 0.9% APR in November:
General Motors has plenty of inventory today, and is bringing low APR offers to attract buyers. These are the models with 1.9% to 2.1% APR offers in November.
Some manufacturer incentives include a hefty amount of cash bonus for your deal. We’ve picked through all of the sales to find you the best cash incentives this month:

Did you know that new car incentives are 40% higher during one particular time of the year? It’s amazing how much money you can save with a bit of knowledge that car dealers don’t want to share. At CarEdge, we strive to make car buying and ownership easier, less expensive, and simply a better experience. In this guide, we’ll go over the best time of the year for buying a car. If you’re determined to spend less on your car, we think you’ll find this information valuable.
The Best Time to Buy a Car Has Changed
As manufacturer incentives plummet, car buyers are looking for other ways to save.

The demand for new and used cars continues to outpace supply as automakers have a really hard time increasing production. Global supply shortages have affected car makers on every continent. However, the situation for car buyers is improving in late 2022. After almost two years of ridiculous prices, deals can finally be negotiated.
The best time of the year to buy a car has changed. Pre-pandemic monthly trends may return someday (if automakers ever get back to normal inventory levels), but let’s talk about where things stand in 2022 and early 2023.
Wait a Few Months For the Best Deal
In late 2022 and early 2023, new and used car prices are dropping. This is not a normal time for car price trends. Price declines are more pronounced in the used car market, but select new models are negotiable too.
Let’s cut to the chase:
The best time to buy a car lies in the months ahead. Deals can be negotiated today, but your leverage for lower prices will increase in December and in early 2023.
The last week of the year is usually the best time to buy a car. Incentives and negotiation leverage improve as dealers hurry to move the last of the previous model year off of their lots.
Let’s talk about the used car market. Wholesale price declines are finally translating to lower used car prices (more on that here). This was confirmed by the November Consumer Price Index (CPI) report that showed used car prices were down -2.4% month-to-month when seasonally adjusted. New car prices remained nearly flat at +0.4%, the smallest new car price increase in 2022.
In 2022 (green), used car prices have fallen after record highs in 2021.
New car prices are softening, despite automakers steadily raising MSRPs. Don’t expect widespread MSRP drops anytime soon. However, there lies hope in the slow return of manufacturer incentives and the demise of additional dealer markups.
Our CarEdge Auto Experts have noted that domestic brands like GM, Ford, Chrysler most often present the best opportunity to get a deal under MSRP.
In other words, your chances of buying a new car at or below MSRP are better now than at any time in the past 18 months.
The longer you wait (into 2023), the more negotiation power you’ll have as the overall new car market softens.
However, when it comes to total cost, it’s not that simple. Interest rates are rising to the highest levels in over a decade. If you wait longer to buy, there’s a real chance that the cost of financing may rise to the point where your monthly payments end up higher due to interest. Here’s the latest on car loan interest rates.

The average transaction price (ATP) of new cars has hovered around $48,000 for months. The latest data shows it continues to remain at that level. How could we possibly advocate for negotiating lower prices? The data shows that luxury car shoppers continue to buy, and that has been driving up the overall market average. Deals are out there, if you know where to look.
Historical Norms: When Is the Best Time of the Year to Buy a Car?
Pre-pandemic data from Edmunds shows that the time around Labor Day is when most new car incentives begin, with discounts growing as the year comes to an end. Better deals continue on outgoing model years through fall and winter as new models compete with outgoing model years for space on dealer lots.
Many automakers roll out the new model year by September. If you’re okay with the outgoing model year, you have significantly more leverage to negotiate prices down. Don’t show up to the dealership expecting thousands of dollars off of the brand-new model year unless demand for new cars falls off a cliff (as it did in 2020).
Year-end car deals most often arrive as manufacturer incentives (which we keep track of every month). New car incentives were at historic lows during the worst of the chip shortage, but they’re slowly coming back as recession fears hit demand.
Here’s how current model-year savings compare with new model-year cars. Remember, these were the historic norms, and the situation in 2022-2023 has changed dramatically.
In pre-pandemic times, this graph shows that new car incentives increased at the end of the year. This is still true, but to a lesser extent as inventory remains lower. Source: Edmunds.com via Market Watch.
Stay On Top of Market Conditions
Would you have guessed that used car prices have fallen nearly 14% at wholesale markets since last summer? Probably not, because it wasn’t until September that car prices dropped at the retail level. The car market is changing as automakers slowly come out of the semiconductor chip shortage, and consumers hold back on spending as recession fears circulate.
Here’s the bottom line: rapidly-changing car market conditions are likely to overshadow the seasonal trends that we’ve seen historically in pre-COVID times.
After 18 months of price increases, used car prices are dropping. Even if sticker prices are nearly the same, at CarEdge, we’ve had more members scoring deals under the advertised price. That’s why we think you should negotiate 5-10% off of a car purchase today.
On the new car front, negotiation leverage depends on three main factors: 1) vehicle supply, 2) local dealer inventory and 2) demand for the specific model and trim.
For example, our CarEdge auto experts joke that everyone wants a Toyota RAV4 Prime right now. Demand is through the roof, Toyota is hardly producing any, and therefore prices for the RAV4 Prime remain insanely high.
On the other hand, some new car models have more inventory than at any time in the past year. New car inventory isn’t on par with pre-pandemic levels, but it’s an improvement. Pair that with reduced demand, and new cars are finally becoming more negotiable. Dealer markups do exist for popular models, but you CAN negotiate pricing on new cars again.
Our team of Car Coaches combines decades of experience in the automotive industry to help you, the consumer, buy a car without the hassle. That’s why we created this must-have resource for buying a new or used car at a dealership, whether in person or through the internet sales department.

How to Negotiate Car Prices with a Salesperson
Use this cheat sheet to negotiate the best auto loan rates on new or used cars!
The best way to learn how to negotiate car prices effectively is to prepare for the situations and conversations you’re likely to encounter with the salesperson and finance manager. Feel free to print off this cheat sheet and bring it with you! Without further ado, here’s how an informed, prepared car buyer can expertly negotiate.
Salesperson: What do you want your monthly payment to be?
You: I’m not concerned with the monthly payment, I am only focused on the total out-the-door price.
Salesperson: So you’re paying cash?
You: I haven’t determined exactly how I plan to pay for it. I am only concerned about the total out-the-door price.
Salesperson: So you have a monthly budget in mind?
You: I have a total out-the-door price in mind, so I would only like to discuss that at the present time.
Salesperson: OK, how much cash will you be putting down?
You: I haven’t decided that yet and I won’t until we establish an acceptable total out-the-door price.
Notice a trend here? You really really want to stay laser-focused on the only number that matters this early in the game: the out-the-door price. Salespeople will try hard to learn more about how much money you’re willing to spend. If that can get you to talk about monthly payments, they immediately have an advantage over you. That gives them leverage to play with higher interest rates, longer loan terms, and lower trade-in offers. None of those are good for you, the buyer.
Salesperson: What are going to do with the car that drove here, will you be trading it?
You: I haven’t decided yet. We can discuss that as a possibility after we agree to an out-the-door price.
Salesperson: Now that we have agreed to the out-the-door price, what about the car you drove here, will you be trading that in?
You: I might, it depends on whether or not you can match or beat these written offers that I have already received.
Salesperson: Now that we have agreed to the out-the-door price and agreed to the value of your trade, what do you want your monthly payment to be?
You: I’ll only discuss that with the Finance Manager.
Salesperson: Will you be putting any cash down?
You: I’ll be more than happy to discuss all of that with the Finance Manager. If you provide me with a credit application I’ll be more than happy to fill that out for the Finance Manager.
Salesperson: The Finance Manager will be with you shortly.
How to Negotiate the Best Auto Loan Rate with the Finance Office
Use this cheat sheet to negotiate the best auto loan rates on new or used cars!
Finance Manager: I assume that you have given some thought to a monthly payment and loan term that will be comfortable to you.
You: I have indeed and I have also secured a pre-approval from my credit union as a possibility for my loan.
Finance Manager: Would you consider financing through us?
You: I would assuming that you can beat the pre-approved rate that I have. Here is the pre-approval terms sheet from my credit union with all the particulars.
Finance Manager: So if I beat the rate you will finance with us?
You: Yes, if you beat it by at least ¼ of a percent. And I promise to at least listen to any finance and protection packages that are available.
Finance Manager: So you are open to some of our programs?
You: Possibly, if we can agree to a reasonable selling price on any items that I think have value. Oh, and if I do buy any products I would at least expect you to give me the buy rate from the bank on my loan. Once again though, you will need to beat my credit union rate by at least ¼ of a percent for me to even consider it.
Finance Manager: Great, let’s get started.
You: I’m all ears.
Finance Manager shares the MENU with additional products.
You: But first, before we go over product benefits, where is my base payment, amount financed, term and interest rate?
Finance Manager shows them to you.
You: Is there a prepayment penalty if I finance with you?
If there is no prepayment penalty, proceed with considering their menu options.
These are products you might see on the menu, and questions to ask:

Finance Manager shows you payments
You: (If you don’t see actual product price) Please write the actual product price next to each one.
Finance Manager: It just changes your payment by this much.
You: I see that, but I want to see the actual price of each product to help me make a good decision.
At this point, negotiate prices down on any products you want.
Finance Manager: OK, sign here and here and here.
You: Please print my Bank Contract and Purchase Order first so I can go over them.
Go over each line of your itemized Purchase Order and make sure the bottom line (amount financed) on both documents match!
