10 Biggest Used Car Price Drops
February 27, 2014
As with everything that's for sale, prices can fluctuate. And when it comes to used cars, those prices can fluctuate by a great deal. According to Cars.com, the average price for a late-model used car in February rose slightly -- by $12 -- to $23,249 compared to January.
If you're in the market for a luxury car, you're in luck as the largest price drops were in that area. The Cadillac DTS had the largest price decrease, dropped 3.6% from January. Following closely behind is the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class with a 3.5% price drop, and the Acura TL with a 3.4% decrease.
On the flipside, the Ford F-250, Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and BWM 740i all saw the largest increase in price over January's sales.
If you're considering any of these cars, remember to use TrueCar Pre-Negotiated Prices to find local dealers who are most willing to negotiate on these vehicles.
