Methodology
iSeeCars.com analyzed over 1.8 million 1-5 year old used car sales in January 2021 and 2022. The average listing prices for each car model were compared between the two periods, and the differences were expressed both as a percentage difference from the 202a price as well as a difference in dollars. Heavy-duty vehicles, low-volume vehicles, discontinued vehicles from model year 2022, and vehicles with less than 4 out of 5 model years for each time period were excluded from further analysis.
