Historically Low Prices on Used Cars at Markquart

Used Car Dealer
Used vehicles prices at Markquart are at a historical low. The market has changed significantly over the last few months, and used vehicle prices have dropped. If you are in the market for a used vehicle, you can find outstanding pricing at Markquart Menomonie. What factors are making used car prices so low?
  1. According to the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index, wholesale used car prices are down over 11% from March to April, 2020. This means that dealerships are acquiring vehicles at lower costs, allowing them to sell at a significant discount.
  2. With the decline in travel, rental car companies are selling slightly-used vehicles back to dealerships, causing the availability of more high-quality vehicles.
  3. Attractive finance and lease deals on new cars are pushing consumers to buy new, leaving dealerships with excessive used car inventory.
Each of these factors alone would drop car prices, but all combined makes used car sales a buyer’s market. We expect prices to increase once the Wisconsin Safer at Home Order is up, so you have until the end of May to make an informed decision. At, Markquart Menomonie, we are taking precautionary measures to protect our employees and visitors. Our sales team can help you shop from your couch. We can send you photos, videos, and even help you find financing online. Visit www.markquartmenomonie.com to get started today.
