3 Things to Know Before Buying a Car Right Now

1. Transaction Prices Remain Stable Month-to-Month

In July 2025, the average transaction price for vehicles rose by 12% compared to the previous year. However, prices remained steady compared to June 2025. Despite this stability, total vehicle sales declined by 2% month-over-month. Interestingly, used car sales increased by 4% during the same period, offering a glimmer of hope for those exploring pre-owned options amidst new inventory shortages caused by ongoing chip supply challenges.

2. Automakers Address Affordability Concerns

Affordability remains a pressing issue in the car market. For the first time in nearly 20 months, automakers have responded by increasing incentives to attract buyers. In July 2025, incentive spending averaged $1,162 per vehicle. This effort reflects manufacturers' intent to balance affordability with high demand, making car purchases more appealing to a broader range of buyers.

3. Brand Loyalty Faces Challenges

With inventory levels remaining historically low, some automakers have managed supply disruptions better than others. This disparity has prompted buyers to explore competing brands. "Automakers with available inventory are weathering sales challenges more effectively," explained Justin Colon, Vice President of OEM Solutions at MotorVero. As a result, brand loyalty is wavering, with consumers increasingly cross-shopping among competitors.
