Car-mageddon?? Auto Insider Predicts Car Prices To Fall This Year | Lucky Lopez

Car prices went bananas after COVID hit — propelled by inventory shortages from disrupted supply chains & the unprecedented stimulus sent to businesses & households.

Now here in 2023, the boom may be ending. Used car prices which nearly doubled post-COVID, have fallen for much of this year — though still remain much higher than their pre-pandemic lows.

Also, lax lending standards in extending auto loans during the recent boom are coming back to bite lenders — the percentage of loans that are at least 60 days delinquent hit 1.65% in the third quarter, the highest rate for 60-day delinquencies in more than a decade.

Where is the auto market headed from here?

Will patient buyers be rewarded with better values in 2023?
