Vehicle Prices to Decrease in 2023 

Over the upcoming year, financial experts predict that both new and used car prices will fall. In November 2022, J.P. Morgan released a research report showing trends that indicate new car prices will probably fall roughly 5 percent, while used car prices could dramatically plummet by 10 to 20 percent. Supply of new vehicles for the upcoming year is returning to normal, which is expected to fuel the decrease in prices for 2023. 

So, Will Car Prices Drop In 2023?

Over the past few years, new and used vehicle prices were uncharacteristically high. Supply chain issues explain most of the price increases. Starting in 2020, there was a shortage of chips needed to manufacture new vehicles. A car chip shortage meant fewer new vehicles were being produced, so the decreased supply of new vehicles caused an increase in pricing on new vehicles. 

With fewer new vehicles to sell, dealers were forced to rely more heavily on used car sales, which then raised the prices of used vehicles. At the same time, consumer demand for vehicles rose, so an overall reduced supply combined with higher demand produced inflated prices. Supply of new vehicles for the upcoming year is returning to normal, which is expected to fuel the decrease in prices for 2023. So, when will car prices drop? Although there isn’t a specific timeline, they’re expected to decrease throughout the year.
