Online Auto Sellers say US Car Prices Have Exceeded Their Peak

    Article Overview

    According to Bloomberg News, the record rise in auto prices in the United States that has driven inflation to a 40 year high might have come to an end, as per two firms selling cars online

    The price of used cars has surged at an annual rate above 50% during times of the pandemic, was seen to go in the reverse last month, according to a new report released by CoPilot, which is an app for buying cars. Following the Christmas break, they peaked in the two weeks but have dropped by 1.4% since then, as shown by its database. 

    Truecar is a digital marketplace that extends help in connecting auto buyers with dealers. It has also been said that the number of clients opting for new cars has declined. According to its data, there was a drop of 2% in January compared to December while remaining at the same time at about 16% higher than what it was a year ago. 

    Bloomberg News reports are being sure. It is essential to exercise some caution since this is not the first instance when such a prominent peak has resulted. Last summer, the price of used cars registered monthly drops, as per a measure that has been widely used, but it resumed climbing upwards after that. 

    Due to disruptions in the supply chain, the industry is still suffering. At the same time, the semiconductor shortfall is less prevalent in the present quarter than last. There is hope that this must reduce in the second half of the quarter, Mary Barra, the chief executive officer, General Motors Co., said she hopes it will reduce in the second half of the quarter. 

    The absence of chips brought production to a halt of new cars. This has impacted the used car segment as well since buyers interested in buying new models had to be content with the latest models, thereby driving the costs higher up. 

    According to Bloomberg News, CarPilot states that a bigger price drop has taken place for those three years old as they serve as a better substitute for the brand new ones since dealers are trying to expand their inventories. The drop in this segment is 2.1% since the peak at the beginning of January, and for vehicles that are four to seven years old, the figure was 1%.
