At Full On Pro Auto, we know you’re concerned about getting a great deal on your next car. With the new car market facing some uncertainty, many people in Coeur d’Alene are turning to the world of used vehicles. But what’s the deal with used car prices here? Are they on the rise?
According to a recent report from Kelley Blue Book, the average price of a used car has actually been going down. That’s good news for you! However, there’s a bit of a catch. There is also less supply of used cars available here in North Idaho. This is because typically dealers aim to have a 60-day supply of cars on the lot, but currently they only have about a 44-day supply.
So, what’s causing this? Well, sales for used cars are expected to rise in the spring, so dealers are holding onto their inventory. They know that demand is going to be high in CDA, and they don’t want to run out of cars to sell.
Here at Full On Pro Auto, we’re committed to providing our customers with the best possible selection of used cars at fair prices. We’re constantly updating our inventory, so be sure to check back often or give us a call to see what gems we have in stock for drivers in our local area.
In the meantime, here are a few tips for buying a used car in today’s market:
Do your research. Know what the fair market value is for the car you’re interested in.
Prices are reflecting market value closely these days, so intense negotiation may not be necessary.
Get a pre-purchase inspection. This will help you identify any potential problems with the car before you buy it.
