When Will Car Prices Drop?

A new Cadillac price may seem a little more costly than it has in recent years, but don’t worry. Here at Zeigler Cadillac of Lincolnwood, we’re dedicated to sharing industry and market news, so you feel comfortable taking the next step.

We’re demystifying new vehicle costs and sharing all we know about the costs of new and pre-owned vehicles.

Why Are Car Prices Higher?

There are two main reasons why prices have increased recently. To start, supply chain disruptions have made it difficult to get all the parts required to create new cars or service pre-owned ones. This has led to a shortage in vehicles produced, and shortages naturally drive prices up.

Because of the shortage, many manufacturer incentives have been paused. Incentives, sales, and deals are a great way to bring the prices down for new vehicles, so their reduction has also led to an increase in costs.

When Will Prices Go Down?

The good news is, we’re starting to see some of the costs trending downward—to a point. Most of the savings will be felt in the pre-owned vehicle market, as more pre-owned vehicles become available, but it may be some time until they return entirely to earlier costs.

New vehicles will be less costly on the face, but interest rates may continue to be high for some time, as the market settles after periods of supply interruptions.

What Should I Buy?

One type of vehicle that will continue to remain costly is the car. That’s because many manufacturers have made the transition to SUVs and crossovers, which means cars are rarer and more difficult to find. To that end, they’ll likely remain more costly than their SUV counterparts.
