Introduction

When life presents challenges like low car inventory, it might be the perfect time to consider trading in your vehicle. The car market is experiencing unprecedented conditions, offering unique opportunities for vehicle owners to maximize their car’s value and make strategic decisions.

What Makes Today’s Market Unique?

The ongoing supply chain disruptions, including the global microchip shortage, have significantly impacted new vehicle production. Dealerships face empty lots, driving demand for used cars to an all-time high. Compared to 2020, used car values have surged by an average of 20% in 2021, making it a seller’s market for vehicle trade-ins.

How Can You Benefit From This Unusual Situation?

If you’re currently making payments on a newer vehicle, this could be an ideal time to sell or trade it in.

According to MotorVero transaction data, approximately 80% of vehicle owners have positive equity, with an average trade-in equity of $8,000. This represents a substantial increase compared to the early pandemic period when only 55% of owners had positive equity, averaging $1,900.

High resale and trade-in values enable many owners to upgrade to newer or better vehicles with minimal financial gaps. In some cases, individuals may even walk away with extra cash after settling their existing car loans.

Staying One Step Ahead

The current market conditions won’t last forever. As inventory levels stabilize and new cars become more readily available, the demand for used vehicles is expected to decline, along with their inflated prices. To stay ahead, consider the following strategies:

  • Leasing Options: Leasing allows flexibility. Once the lease term ends, you can choose whether to purchase or return the vehicle, depending on market conditions.
  • Extended Financing: Opting for extended financing terms, such as 84-month loans, can lower monthly payments, providing financial flexibility while market prices normalize.
