Are there any sites that track average historical list price for a specific vehicle?
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

What Are These Used Car Prices?
Used car prices are out of control for sure. Looking at something other than a Honda or a Toyota helps. And as much as it’s more work up front, buying from a private seller will save you thousands compared to a dealer in many cases. If you’re really sticking to a budget, it’s just gonna get you a lot more for the money More on reddit.com
