Proof That Prices Are Down: Why Now Is the Best Time to Buy

Last edit: December 14 2025 • 137 view

Hi guys! I already told you that this is the best time of the year to buy cars. Everyone is busy getting ready for Christmas, but the auctions are still going. The best deals go to the people who place their bids right now. But talking is one thing – what about proof? Just let me show you some of the coolest recent purchases from our customers:

2023 Nissan Versa

2023 Nissan Versa with front-end damage sold for $2,700 at auction

Alejandro is our regular customer. He first bought one car for himself, then one for his kid – and now he’s a flipper. This time he bought a Versa. It’s a very popular sedan that can be your first car or a great daily driver. Low mileage, good condition. And he paid only 16% of the retail price!

$2,700 is a real deal – you can make around $8,000-$10,000 profit on it. Great job, Alejandro!

2015 GMC Acadia

2015 GMC Acadia with rear-end damage sold for $1,900 at auction

Well, maybe you’re looking for an SUV – a big, reliable vehicle. Check out Craig’s purchase. He paid $1,900, which is only 18% of the retail price. Good mileage and a good trim.

Savings of about $4,000–$5,000 – excellent!

2018 Dodge Charger

2018 Dodge Charger with left side damage sold for $3,200 at auction

Maybe you want something more powerful and fun? Our client Abraham didn’t wait for the live auction. He bought this 2018 Dodge Charger with a Buy It Now request. Only $3,200 – that’s 26% of the retail price. I love this car, and I love these savings.

Abraham will easily save $7,000-$8,000 on this car.

2023 Ford F-150

2023 Ford F-150 with front-end damage sold for $10,550 at auction

And I know everyone loves trucks, so I saved the truck for last. Dwight has been with us for 3 years, and he buys only F-150s. This time he found another great deal – very small damage, very low mileage, and only 32% of the retail price.

His profit on this truck can be $10,000-$12,000. Awesome!

And if you still think this is not the best time to buy a car at auction, just look at what is happening with prices – they are dropping to their lowest levels.

If you are planning to buy, try to do it now. This market will not stay like this for long, and I will be truly happy if you find your car deal right now.

Happy bidding!
