Although many limited-edition cars or special models are priced relatively high (usually more than US$100,000), these high-priced models are usually quite valuable and sometimes even have room for value-added compared to general people-friendly scooters with high depreciation rates. As for the US market affected by inflation , there is a strange phenomenon that the second-hand national god car Toyota RAV4 also has also increased its value.
According to a recent study by Jerry Insurance Savings Company in the United States, in the case of difficult to find a new car, many people are willing to spend a higher price than a new car to buy the popular second-hand national daily scooter models in the market. The research report lists seven popular models with used models that are priced higher than new cars. The Toyota RAV4 tops the list, and its average selling price of used models in 2021 is $5,900 more than the new models in 2022. The second place on the
list is the Honda Civic car series, and their average second-hand price is $5,300 more than the new car price. Other models are Honda CR-V ($3,800 more than the new car), Toyota Camry ($3,200 more than the new car), Nissan Rogue ($3,100 more than the new car), Toyota Highlander ($2,100 more than the new car), and Ford F-150 ($100 more than the new car). As for the electric car segment, Jerry Insurance Savings Research found that the average price of the second-hand Volkswagen ID.4 is $6,300 higher than the new car, while the average price of the second-hand Tesla Model 3 and Ford Mustang Mach-E is $5,200 higher than the new car.
Jerry Insurance Savings Company research points out that South Carolina , New York and New Jersey are the top three with the most rising second-hand car prices in the past year, up 17%, 16% and 15% respectively. There are 21 states in the United States that have used cars rising by at least 10% compared with last year.
Fortunately, the phenomenon of second-hand cars being sold at a higher price than new cars has not occurred in all models. Many cars in the US market have actually begun to return to normal standard prices. In fact, this is the market. When demand exceeds supply, what follows is the price increase, such as Toyota 's Prado in the domestic used car market!
