These 2023 Models Have the Most Remaining Inventory, and Highest Negotiability
It’s 2024, but that doesn’t mean that 2023 car models are a thing of the past. In fact, 796,000 new model year 2023 cars, trucks, and SUVs remain on dealership lots in February. While some car buyers may hesitate to take home a 2023 model in the new year, others see them as the best chance for negotiating a great deal. We used CarEdge Data to identify the new cars with the most remaining 2023 inventory right now.
The Top 20: Ford, GM, and Stellantis Inventory Surplus
In February of 2024, Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis brands have the highest inventory surplus of new 2023 models. This is what we’d expect from recent trends in our regularly updated guide to the most and least new car inventory.
Here’s a look at the remaining 2023 inventory on dealer lots. Dealers and OEMs alike are eager to sell these vehicles! Learn more about how Market Day Supply is calculated here.
| Make | Model | Market Day Supply | Total For Sale (1/2024) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ford | F-150 | 107 | 95,948 |

| Volkswagen | ID.4 | 85 | 8,994 |
Ford
There are over 100,000 2023 F-150s and F-150 Lightnings still on sale in February. However, market day supply is ‘only’ half of one year because of the popularity of America’s best-selling truck (and best selling electric truck).
Ford’s Mustang Mach-E has rave reviews, but that hasn’t been enough to sell cars. There’s a 269-day supply of 2023 Mustang Mach-Es.
Stellantis
When sorting by market day supply, Stellantis brands soar to the top. In February, there are four Stellantis 2023 models with over 100 days of supply. It’s shocking to see how many Dodge Chargers and Challengers remain unsold. At current selling rates, it would take well over a year to sell these cars.
The Ram 1500 isn’t far behind. It would take nearly four months to sell remaining 2023 inventory at today’s selling rates.
General Motors
The 2023 Buick Envision and GMC Acadia both have over 100 days of supply, with tens of thousands of cars remaining unsold. There are 12,000 unsold 2023 Chevrolet Traverses still out there, but as a quick seller, they will likely be sold in just two months.
Follow the Inventory: The Best Deals This Month
The best SUV financing offer this month is the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe. Finance the Santa Fe at 0% APR for 36 months, or 3.39% APR for 60 months. Plus, get up to $2,000 in cash incentives.

CarEdge’s Take
We have a number of EV enthusiasts on the CarEdge team, from Tesla fans to Hyundai IONIQ 5 owners. In our opinion, Consumer Report’s EV reliability ratings need to be taken with a grain of salt. Several of the best-rated electric vehicles on the list have some of the slowest charging, lowest range, and in some cases, all-around poor reviews.
Take the all-new Lexus RZ for example. Although it’s a Lexus, it shares the same electric powertrain with the Toyota bZ4X and even the Subaru Solterra. In Out of Spec’s test, the RZ went just 176 miles on the interstate at 70 miles per hour on a full charge in warm weather. Most of the competition is good for at least 200 miles on the highway between charging stops.
Much of the same could be said about the Nissan Ariya, Audi Q4 e-tron, and overpriced Kia Niro EV.
The best-equipped EVs on the Consumer Reports reliability list are, in terms of charging speeds and range, the Hyundai IONIQ 6, Tesla Model 3, Kia EV6, and BMW’s electric offerings. These models offer more range, and less time spent at charging stations.
Is 2025 the right time to buy an EV?
If you’re planning to keep your next vehicle for years to come, and you’re willing to exchange convenience on road trips for fuel savings and slashing tailpipe emissions, then 2025 is a good time to go electric. If you’re likely to need an upgrade in a few years, we strongly recommend an EV lease. Resale values continue to undergo wild swings in the used EV market. This will continue as better-equipped EVs hit the market in years to come.

Mazda and Subaru Year-End Sales Feature 0% APR, Below-Invoice Pricing
As 2023 comes to a close, the new car market is brimming with opportunities for big savings. With an increase in inventory and the arrival of 2024 models, Mazda and Subaru dealers, along with their manufacturers, are feeling an increased urgency to sell off their current stock. Here, we’ve highlighted the best year-end deals for Mazda and Subaru in 2023, with the spotlight on low APR SUVs available for a limited time.
The Best Mazda Year-End Sales
0% Financing: 2024 Mazda CX-5
Starting MSRP: $29,300
Current Market Day Supply: 115 days
Negotiability Score: High
0% APR for 60 months + No payments for 90 days (ends 1/2/24)
The CX-5 comes with standard all-wheel drive, a rarity outside of Subaru. 2024 model year CX-5s have recently arrived at dealership lots, and with zero percent financing, it’s clear that Mazda is looking to sell them immediately. Mazda also has several models at 0.9% to 1.9% APR in December, including the popular CX-30, CX-50, and the large CX-90.
2024 Mazda CX-5 dealer inventory is down slightly over the past month, from 144 days of supply to 115 days of supply. That’s still twice the market norm of roughly 60 days. This indicates that Mazda dealers should be willing to negotiate, at least before the end of 2023. Dealers and salespeople are eager to meet year-end sales targets.
See 2024 Mazda models at $500 below invoice, and 2023 Mazda models at $1,000 below invoice!
0.9% Financing: CX-90, CX-30
2024 Mazda CX-90
Starting MSRP: $39,595
Current Market Day Supply: 135 days
Negotiability Score: High
0% APR for 36 months + No payments for 90 days (ends 1/2/24)
This Mazda offer applies to the Turbo Select, Turbo Preferred, Turbo Preferred Plus, Turbo Premium, or Turbo Premium Plus trims only. The 3-row CX-90 is Mazda’s largest model, with 74.3 cubic feet of cargo volume with the seats down. It comfortably seats 7 passengers. Reviewers agree that the all-new CX-90 is a shockingly luxurious mid-size SUV, and represents incredible value at the price point.
With so many CX-90s shipped to dealer lots, inventory is currently very high at 135 days. With a financing offer like this, we’re left wondering why more SUV buyers aren’t taking advantage of this deal.
See Mazda CX-90 inventory priced at $500 below invoice!
Learn more about offer details.
2023 Mazda CX-30
Starting MSRP: $22,950
Current Market Day Supply: 32 days
Negotiability Score: Low
0% APR for 36 months + No payments for 90 days (ends 1/2/24)
The 2024 CX-30 gets a $2,000 price increase for 2024, so buyers are taking advantage of great financing offers for remaining 2023 CX-30 inventory. With standard all-wheel drive, 191 horsepower and combined 29 miles per gallon, this crossover is a compromise that simply works.
There are only 2,000 2023 CX-30s remaining nationwide, so this deal won’t last.
See Mazda CX-30 inventory priced at $1,000 below invoice!

The Best Subaru Year-End Sales
Subaru is ending the year with a rare offer for its second most popular model, the Outback. If you haven’t sat in an Outback for several years, you’d be surprised how far this model has come. Featuring modern tech that perfectly compliments the Outback’s beloved all-terrain capability, this financing offer is one to get excited about.
2024 Subaru Outback
Starting MSRP: $28,895
Current Market Day Supply: 85 days
Negotiability Score: Above Average
1.9% APR for 48 months (ends 1/2/24)
Currently, there are nearly 27,000 Outbacks sitting on dealer lots, of which 26,000 are new 2024 models. With 85 days of market supply, there are more Outbacks available than normal. Negotiability is possible, but not what we’d consider likely. Dealers know the Outback is popular, and may be willing to hold on to them into the new year.
See Subaru Outback inventory with local market data.
Buy Now Or Wait Until 2024?
For new car shoppers considering Subaru and Mazda, December 2023 is an exceptional time to find the year’s most attractive deals. With a range of incentives, the year-end rush to sell, and the availability of 2023 Subaru and Mazda models, holding off until 2024 might mean missing out on current opportunities.
The situation in the used car market, however, is less clear-cut. Recent trends indicate a drop in prices, but the full impact of these changes and their duration remains to be seen. Particularly for Subaru and Mazda used cars, the market’s fluctuating dynamics make predicting the best time to buy in 2024 somewhat uncertain. See our December used car market update here.

10 Examples of How Far Used EV Prices Have Fallen
Why did most buyers stay away from used electric vehicles in years past? Most were fixated on the federal EV tax credit, which only applied to new EVs. Others were unsure about EV repair costs outside of warranty. But the calculus changes when used EV prices plummet like they have recently. Better yet, more and more models are qualifying for the federal used EV tax credit, which launched in January 2023. Here’s a look at the best used electric vehicle deals in December of 2023.
We’ve ranked the 10 best-selling EVs in America from most negotiable, to least negotiable based on market day supply.
Chevrolet Bolt
New Average Transaction Price: $31,482
Used Average Transaction Price: $23,601
Used Market Day Supply: 100 days
Negotiability Score: Very High
The Chevrolet Bolt EV stands out as one of the most affordable electric vehicles in the American market. It’s an ideal entry-level EV, perfect for city driving and shorter road trips. Additionally, most used Bolt EVs fall within the price caps for the federal used EV tax credit, making them even more appealing.
However, the Bolt’s main drawback lies in its charging capabilities. With a peak charging rate of only 55 kW, it can take over an hour to gain 200 miles of range, which may be a concern for some buyers. In December, there are 3,487 used Chevrolet Bolts available for sale across America, with prices starting at just $10,995. Of these, 415 boast a clean record.
See pre-owned Chevy Bolt listings with the power of local market data.
Volkswagen ID.4
New Average Transaction Price: $48,230
Used Average Transaction Price: $32,898
Used Market Day Supply: 85 days
Negotiability Score: Very High
The Volkswagen ID.4 boasts the advantage of being American-made at VW’s Chattanooga, Tennessee plant, making it eligible for the federal EV tax credit when new. Furthermore, used ID.4 models are available for around $25,000, potentially qualifying for the used EV tax credit as well. With charging speeds and range that are both average, it strikes a balance in the EV market.
However, the ID.4 is not designed for sporty performance; those seeking a more dynamic driving experience might consider other options on this list, excluding the Chevy Bolt. As of December, there are 655 used Volkswagen ID.4s for sale across America, with prices starting as low as $23,900, and 111 of these vehicles have a clean record
See pre-owned Volkswagen ID.4 listings with the power of local market data.
Ford Mustang Mach-E
New Average Transaction Price: $56,546
Used Average Transaction Price: $41,100
Used Market Day Supply: 98 days
Negotiability Score: High
The Mustang Mach-E is a family-sized EV with the iconic Mustang’s spirit, offering a sporty edge to family hauling. However, it’s important to consider that its charging speeds are average, lagging behind competitors like Tesla, Hyundai, and Kia. For those interested, there are 1,327 used Mustang Mach-Es available for sale in America as of December, with prices starting at an enticing $23,999. Among these, 183 have a clean record.
See pre-owned Ford Mustang Mach-E listings with the power of local market data.
Tesla Model S
New Base MSRP: $74,990
Used Average Transaction Price: $39,674
Used Market Day Supply: 87 days
Negotiability Score: High
The Model S boasts luxury features and reliable fast charging, making it a premium choice in the electric vehicle segment. However, it’s important to note that it doesn’t offer the same cargo capacity as its siblings, the Model Y and Model X, which could be a deciding factor for some.
As of December, the market has 2,498 used Model S vehicles available across America, with prices starting remarkably low at $12,000 for a 2013 model. Among the listings, 363 have a clean record.
See pre-owned Tesla Model S listings with the power of local market data.
Kia EV6
New Average Transaction Price: $52,520
Used Average Transaction Price: $40,834
Used Market Day Supply: 94 days
Negotiability Score: High
The Kia EV6, similar to the IONIQ 5, is renowned for its rapid charging capabilities and efficiency. However, buyers should note that it offers less interior cargo space typical of hatchbacks, rather than the larger capacity found in SUVs.
In the current market, there are 397 used Kia EV6s available for sale across America as of December, with the starting price at $24,922. Among these, 75 have a clean record.
See pre-owned Kia EV6 listings with the power of local market data.
Tesla Model Y
New Base MSRP: $47,740
Used Average Transaction Price: $42,633
Used Market Day Supply: 57 days
Negotiability Score: Average
For car buyers considering a used Tesla Model Y, there are some key points to keep in mind. One of the major advantages is access to Tesla’s reliable and extensive Supercharger network, complemented by the convenience of frequent over-the-air updates that continually improve the vehicle.
However, potential buyers should be aware of occasional complaints regarding build quality issues. As of December, there are 2,226 used Model Ys available for sale across America, with prices starting as low as $27,500. Out of these, 339 have a clean record.
See pre-owned Tesla Model Y listings with the power of local market data.
Tesla Model 3
New Base MSRP: $40,240
Used Average Transaction Price: $33,368
Used Market Day Supply: 65 days
Negotiability Score: Average
The Model 3 is known for its time-tested reliability, exceptional range and efficiency, and access to Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network. However, it’s worth noting that as a sedan, the Model 3 doesn’t align with the current trend favoring SUVs and trucks. In December, there are 6,591 used Model 3s on the market in America, with prices starting at an attractive $16,990. Of these, 533 boast a clean record.
See pre-owned Tesla Model 3 listings with the power of local market data.
Tesla Model X
New Base MSRP: $79,990
Used Average Transaction Price: $54,284
Used Market Day Supply: 63 days
Negotiability Score: Average
The Tesla Model X combines the spaciousness of an SUV with the touch of luxury, notably featuring its distinctive gull-wing doors. While these doors add a unique flair, they can sometimes be more of an inconvenience in practical use. For those eyeing a 2020 or newer Model X, be prepared to invest a minimum of $50,000.
In the used car market this December, there are 1,391 Tesla Model X vehicles available across America, with the starting price as low as $23,100. Among these, 204 have a clean record, offering a variety of choices for those seeking a blend of luxury, space, and electric efficiency in their vehicle.
See pre-owned Tesla Model X listings with the power of local market data.
Hyundai IONIQ 5
New Average Transaction Price: $50,581
Used Average Transaction Price: $38,965
Used Market Day Supply: 58 days
Negotiability Score: Average
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 stands out in the EV market with its e-GMP powertrain, making it one of the fastest-charging affordable electric vehicles available today. Additionally, several listings now fall within the negotiation range of the $25,000 price cap for the federal used EV tax credit, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers.
However, its design is polarizing, often eliciting strong opinions; you either love its unique look or don’t. As of December, there are 389 used Hyundai IONIQ 5s for sale in America, with prices starting at a competitive $22,758. Of these, only 73 have a clean record.
See pre-owned Hyundai IONIQ 5 listings with the power of local market data.
Ford F-150 Lightning
New Average Transaction Price: $71,118
Used Average Transaction Price: $68,430
Used Market Day Supply: 110 days
Negotiability Score: Very High
The Ford F-150 Lightning stands out as a full-sized electric truck capable of handling typical truck duties, a significant pro for those needing utility and eco-friendliness. However, like all electric trucks currently on the market, it experiences a significant reduction in range while towing, losing about half of its rated capacity.
Additionally, the F-150 Lightning’s charging speed is not the fastest; without access to home or workplace charging, adding 200 miles of range at a DC fast charger could take at least 45 minutes.
Ford dealers are resisting discounts, even after months of building inventory. That’s the sole reason why the F-150 Lightning isn’t ranked higher on this list of best used EV deals. In the used market, there are 516 F-150 Lightnings available for sale across America as of December, with prices starting at $39,995. Of these, only 56 have a clean record, offering options for those looking for a capable electric truck with practical utility.

The Best Full-Size Truck Deals in September: Finance, Lease, and Cash Offers
As we wrap up summer and head into fall, the truck market is full of deals. With 2025 models arriving daily and dealers eager to sell remaining 2024 inventory, it’s a great time for negotiating, or letting us do it for you. Here’s our guide to the top truck deals of September 2024, featuring low APR financing, cash offers, and lease deals.
2024 Nissan Titan
Starting MSRP: $40,350+
Negotiability Score: Very High (134 days of market supply)

Rising Inventory Ushers In Year-End EV Sales, and Room For Negotiation
As electric vehicles increasingly populate the roads, understanding the ins and outs of the EV market can equip car buyers with leverage to negotiate big savings. Currently accounting for 7.9% of new car sales in America, the EV market is undeniably expanding. However, it’s not without its challenges. We’ll delve into the complexities behind the EV market’s growth, the latest EV inventory update, and which models have the best year-end deals this December.
The Current State of the EV Market
The EV market is growing, with electric vehicles now making up 7.9% of all new car sales in America. However, the market is experiencing its share of challenges. While some new electric models fly off the lots, others linger far longer.
What’s behind the buildup of EVs on dealer lots? First, it’s worth pointing out that OEMs have ramped up production, sending more cars to dealer lots. But as it turns out, there aren’t as many buyers as they’d hoped for. And 57% of EV buyers are still opting for a Tesla, which sells directly to consumers. Other direct-to-consumer newcomers like Rivian, Fisker, and Lucid are also growing in market share.
On top of that, there’s a natural shift happening in the market for EVs, one that’s been expected for a while. As 2024 approaches, we’re coming to the end of the ‘early adopter’ phase of EV sales. Many of the higher-income, more tech-curious drivers who were eager to go electric have already purchased an EV. What’s left is the rest of the auto market, which makes up the vast majority of buyers.
Why aren’t more car buyers choosing an EV? The lack of reliable charging infrastructure is the most commonly cited reason, with higher prices being a close second. Another reason for EV hesitation is the uncertainty of possible repair costs outside of warranty. Sure, fuel savings can add up quickly, but what would it cost to replace a damaged battery pack? Savvy buyers want to know more about the total cost of ownership.
But make no mistake: EV sales are still growing. They’re just not growing exponentially like they did a few years ago. Here’s a look at quarterly EV market share in America over the past three years.
All analysts predict EV sales to grow in the future, but the extent of growth varies. The consensus average stands at 35% EV market share in 2030. Growth rates will have to accelerate in order to achieve that. Time flies, and we’re only six years away.
EV Inventory Rises to End 2023
At CarEdge, we preach that to find the most negotiable cars, follow the inventory numbers. A key factor in understanding these sales dynamics is Market Day Supply. This indicator shows how long it would take to sell off current inventory at recent sales rates.
The entire new car market is undergoing a rapid rise in inventory. Our latest new car inventory update shows that several domestic car brands are seeing in excess of 75 days of market supply in December. In a healthy ‘normal’ market, that number is 45 to 60 days of supply.
EV inventory has grown steadily in 2023. CarEdge Data has revealed some eye-opening figures. New EV inventory has reached unprecedented levels.
Take the Ford Mustang Mach-E, for instance. Its supply has skyrocketed to 337 days, a stark contrast to its initial hype as a ‘Tesla-killer’. Other popular models like the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 are facing 125 and 156 days supply, respectively, despite their acclaimed ultra-fast charging speeds and industry accolades. The Kia EV6 is right up there too with 153 days of supply, more than double the inventory of one year ago. Nissan’s follow-up to the LEAF, the Ariya, now has an MDS of 209 days. Perhaps buyers are balking at a $50,000+ price tag for a Nissan crossover. Who would have thought?
Surprisingly, some of the least recommended EVs are selling more quickly. The Subaru Solterra actually has a relatively normal supply right now with a market day supply of 57 days. The Toyota bZ4X sits at 87 days. The Lexus RZ has 78 days of market supply. Why wouldn’t we recommend these three popular EVs for most buyers? They charge quite a bit slower than other options on the market for a similar price. Yet, loyal Subaru, Toyota and Lexus fans seem to be buying them.
Most other EV models are sitting on dealer lots for much, much longer.
Here’s a snapshot of the current dealer inventory for new electric vehicles in America, excluding Tesla and other direct-to-consumer brands. We’ve included data from December and October to shed light on recent inventory trends:
| Make | Model | Day Supply (10-2023) | Day Supply (12-2023) | Total For Sale (12-2023) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Volvo | C40 | 128 | 105 | 808 |
| Volvo | XC40 Recharge | N/A | 137 | 1519 |
This is NOT normal, folks. You can’t sugarcoat the fact that in America, electric vehicles are not selling as quickly as automakers had expected. That’s precisely why so many are sitting on dealer lots right now.
High interest rates are also a factor, as the cost of financing a $50,000+ vehicle is unattainable for many. The average price of an electric vehicle is $51,762 as of our latest EV price update.
Year-End EV Deals Are Here
Yes, EV inventory is sky-high, but what does this mean for potential EV buyers? First, the bad news. Our CarEdge Coaches are quite frankly shocked by how stubborn car dealers are refusing to lower EV sticker prices. Even with 150 to 300+ days of supply, up to 6 times the norm, most Ford dealers haven’t discounted Mustang Mach-Es or F-150 Lightnings. The same rings true for Mercedes-Benz’s growing electric lineup.
The good news is that increasing inventory suggests that buyers certainly have more room to negotiate. This is especially true for models with a higher days supply. Recent spikes in EV inventory have already led to some CarEdge Community members successfully negotiating significant discounts off EV sticker prices. This trend indicates that EVs, contrary to what dealers will tell you, are indeed negotiable. Importantly, buyers should come prepared with negotiation know-how and recent car market insights.
