🚘 Used Car Price Trends for December 2025
Used cars costing more than new ones? The market’s flipped. According to CARFAX’s Used Car Index, used car prices are holding firm while new vehicle incentives are driving down monthly payments.

AFG’s programs help you offer more affordable vehicle financing options not just for new, but also for used vehicles up to 5 years old.
