It really depends what the vehicle is and the age of it. The Tacomas are ridiculous with their resale as well as Jeep Wrangler, Toyota 4 Runners, and Subaru's. So its all what you are looking for.
The new Taurus' my friend you can relatively cheap due to the lack of inventory of them moving. (not that new cars are cheap!) But a friends grandmother bought a brand new 2016 Taurus that stickered at $33,000 for $22,000. The rebates + the time it spent on the dealers lot= they wanted out cause everyones going for a Fusion or Escape locally it seems.

Resale value really holds in Toyotas.. I've seen Camrys with 200,000+ go for a few thousand still, just because they keep going well after that.. Same with Subaru, they have a pretty good reputation for longevity.. I've seen plenty of Wranglers break the 200,000 mark also..
I think as with most things, if you look high low and everywhere in between, you'll find what you want at a price you can afford.. It may not happen tomorrow, or next week, but if you're diligent it will surface..

Ford Rangers seem to hold their value, I still see 2001-2003 average condition trucks go for 3-5k still.

It seems that Rangers sky rocketed once Ford discontinued them and continued to say that they wouldn't make them.
Now were getting the Ranger in like two years but its a midsize

Yeah I noticed some ads for cars at the dealer I got mine at. They had a car the same year and model as mine, but lower trim level and more miles than mine has, and yet the price was a few thousand more than I paid for it three years ago. Crazy.
Definitely not the time to buy a car. I was looking at some van listings for fun and a 13 year old Chrysler Town and Country with well over 150k miles they wanted $11k for. No way.

My wife and I traded in her 2018 Hyundai Elantra for more then we paid out the door in December 2017 now with 34k on it. Under normal conditions we would’ve kept it till it was probably ten or 12 years old but it killed my back if I rode in it for longer then 10 minutes, those seats were horrible. We ended up buying a 2022 Kia Sportage. The hardest part was convincing the dealer to do a swap with another dealer for the color combo we wanted. Now I look and see these addendum stickers on new cars $1000-10000 above sticker due to market demand it’s crazy. The dealer we bought from now wants $5k over sticker on most new models and more popular ones like the Sorento are $7k over pure insanity! |

We had to purchase a new vehicle for my mom this past spring due to her old one (a BMW 3 Series) being totaled by another driver (his fault entirely). We bought a BMW X5 right before the used car inflation. We went to the same dealer we purchased the 3 Series from (both were Certified Pre Owned (CPO) cars from a BMW dealership) since they'd treated us so well when selling the old car to us. We also dealt with the same salesman as we had with the 3 Series, since he'd been so honest and helpful, and we agreed on a price over the phone, as well as had him hold the vehicle for us with a deposit while we were waiting for our insurance check. On the day we went to purchase the vehicle, the salesman had it out front and all gassed up for us, let us take it on a short test drive, and then streamlined all of the paperwork. All in all, we were out of there in only a few short hours. Overall, a great experience all around. Also, back in 2016, my dad purchased a '14 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 from a local used car dealer here in town, who also owns reputable Chevrolet and Jeep dealerships. We had such a great experience, that I knew I had to work for them, and that's how I got my job there.  |

Do you guys have the lots that seem to go on for acres where you live? I live in a decent size town and our lots are moderate size but nothing huge. There does seem to be a decent amount of cars at most of the new car lots. Where my grandma lives is a tiny town but they have one of the biggest GM dealers especially for fleets. I'm always seeing trucks with their logo on them. They have trucks parked in empty fields behind the lot. I doubt it these days though.
Some lots in places like Lakeland, Tampa, etc seem to go on for miles. LOL
One car lot I pass every morning on the way to work is always busy. It used to be a Chrysler-Plymouth-Jeep-Eagle dealer years ago. Now it's a fleet sales lot and it's always filled up mostly with Chevy Tahoes and Suburbans that
are going to some kind of fleet use. It seems every week I lines of them heading to the gas station and then driving somewhere else. The lot always seems to be filled up with more of them every week.

We have one big group of dealerships in our area who is a big competitor to the dealership group I work for. They always seem to have hundreds of vehicles at any given time. That dealership group sells Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/RAM, Genesis, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Subaru, and used vehicles. Our dealership group sells Chevrolet (Chevy) and Jeep vehicles. There are 3 Chevy dealerships on the same highway as our dealership, although we provide the best customer experience. |
