If you’re looking for the best used car deals right now, this list from EpicVIN will be of interest. EpicVIN says the average prices of second-hand, used, cars began dropping in 2025 and that as of right now in February 2025, the average price of a used car in February is $25,565, which is 7% less compared to the previous year.
Why have the prices decreased?
Researchers attribute the decline in prices to a few things.
- More new cars.
- Release of newer modeling is rendering people in the place where they needn’t brain shop for used cars anymore.
- Less demand: The end-of-2024 car rush is now over; therefore, dealers are dropping prices.
- Better financing offers: Automakers to entice buyers are offering low-interest loans on CPO cars.
“We’re seeing the used car market stabilize after years of high prices. Right now, buyers have more options at better prices,” said Alex Black, EpicVIN CMO.
