I remember those Pandemic car prices. Shit was ridiculous. I know multiple people that sold their old cars for more than they bought them. Money made no sense back then. More on reddit.com

Cargurus's used car price trends does exactly that. You can even change the scale of the graph to see trends longer than the last 6 months. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/price-trends/ There are a couple limitations obviously. First of all it only tracks listing prices, not what cars are actually selling for. For certain more rare cars/trucks there can be a lot of listings for more than they are actually worth and that will throw off the graph. In those cases sites like Bring a Trailer or the Hagerty price tool ( https://www.hagerty.com/apps/valuationtools/search/auto ) might be closer to actual values. Other limitation is you can break it down generally but make, model, and year but can't go by sub-model, trim, body style, or engine. In some cases this creates anomalies like it saying the average listing price of a 2011 Porsche 911 is currently $94k. That's obviously being thrown off by low-mileage GT2RS and Turbo S models for sale because a more common 2011 C2S even in mint condition is worth less than that. Similar thing for even more common cars though like a 2018 BMW 340i is obviously worth a lot more than the $26.5k average it states for 2018 3 Series. More on reddit.com

CarGurus will tell you if it is a good deal based on the current market. Private sales should be a bit cheaper though. More on reddit.com

Everyone just hold out, use the car you have, and don't give in to markups or shitty prices. The market is getting better, but it's still going to take a little bit of time. I go to car auctions every week, and it used to be most cars would go for $4k over value no problem, but now if someone is asking for anything over value, the car will not sell at all.
