There is no better time to sell your used car than now. Why? Your car is now worth a lot more than it would have last year or several years back. The market for used vehicles is in a state of massive inventory shortage. The reason for this shortage is attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The stay-at-home orders during the pandemic were a major problem for the rental car business. Rental car companies placed a pause at buying cars. Also, cars were left unused for long periods, which was also marked by low activities in terms of repossession of cars.
What’s more? Aside from the pandemic’s impact on the rental car business, there were checks available for people to buy new vehicles. All of these factors combine to cause a lower supply of used cars and a higher demand. The high demand and low supply mean that dealers are ready to buy your used car at great prices.
You tend to get a higher amount than you normally would for trading in your car. However, you should note that your car’s value will depend on the scarcity of its model and its current market value. While keeping that in mind, satisfaction comes with any deal, you get for trading in your car at a time like this.
