10 Safest States for Pedestrians (2022 Study)

If you’re in the market to buy a used car, 2022 is no more your year than 2021 was — but for sellers, there’s no better time than the present. In the modern era, there has literally never been a time when used cars — even those that are just OK — were selling for more money after less time on the market. But the seller’s paradise that defines today’s market won’t last forever, so here’s why you should consider selling your car now.

If You Have a Spare Car, You’re Sitting on a Gold Mine

In January, the price of a used car was up by nearly 37% compared to the same time period in 2021, according to iSeeCars. Even so, they’re gone almost as soon as they hit the market — in-demand models like the Kia Telluride sell in less than 13 days.

If you have a car you’re willing to part with, there’s literally never been a better time to sell.

“A paucity of new cars has fueled demand for secondhand cars, while a shortage of microchips and raw materials such as copper and aluminum has created production delays,” said Phillip Villegas of Three Pedal Mafia. “As a result, your car may be worth far more than it was a year ago, making it a good time to sell it.”
