Now is Your Best Opportunity to Sell Your Vehicle

The last year and a half has had wide-ranging effects across the world, and has changed how multiple industries are able to go about business. The automotive industry was greatly affected, from new vehicle plant production stoppages to the resulting dilution of stock. While the industry may be on a road to recovery that sees both interest, need and stock as it once was, we’re now living in a time when used vehicles are king. That’s right, with shortages of new vehicles stock comes the demand for used vehicles, creating the perfect opportunity for you to sell your car for a terrific value price. Read on with us as we outline the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stock, why used vehicles are in such high demand and why it’s the best time for you to sell your vehicle to a dealership such as ours at Davey Auto Sales.

How to Maximize Your Car’s Resale Value

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on New & Used Vehicle Stock

Throughout the pandemic there has always been a need for vehicles, whether it’s just time for a new option, your current vehicle has reached the end of its life and you require a replacement, moving away from the city, doing remote work that lets you live anywhere (lessening your need to drive), or for those who wanted to avoid the crowded nature of public transit. This demand for vehicles means that people want to buy, but are met head-on with a lack of new vehicle stock, given the semiconductor shortage (a vital computer chip needed in the production of vehicles), along with factories who are still catching up from previous stoppages as well as changed practices that may not see production to the level it once was. With this new vehicle stock shortage comes a premium on used vehicles, vehicles that already exist and ones that dealerships want from people just like you.

A High Demand for Used Vehicles

There may be those who choose to wait for a new vehicle, but that is an untenable time period, one that could stretch on for a while. In its place rises the benefits of a used vehicle, where you can get an incredibly similar and performing vehicle, and for a better price. Used vehicle stock, to be fair, is limited as well, but exists in a much more flexible space with these vehicles already produced and one-of-a-kind, and now producing excellent value for those looking to trade. If you’ve been thinking about selling your car, now is the time to do it. Thanks to market demand you’ll be able to secure the best valuation possible on your vehicle, a silver lining for those looking to upgrade their current model at this precarious time.
