Biggest Pandemic Car Price Drops
June 25, 2020
A lot of my readers have been surprised at the lack of huge discounts on new cars due to the economic shutdown. However, with over 350 different new models for sale, surely some of them have been hit hard and are ripe for deals.
That's why this week, I analyzed the current average selling prices of all models and compared them to the average price they were selling for before the economic shutdowns (basically, mid-February).
Below is a list of the top 60 models that have come down the most when it comes to average selling price during the past 4 months. The 2019 Lexus GS RWD is #1 with a 13.5% drop in selling price post pandemic.
Check out the full list below, now may be a good time to purchase one of these models if they're on your consideration list. As always, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to quickly see the lowest prices being offered in your local are.
