These 10 Used Cars Have the Biggest Price DropsManufacturers

Trying to buy a car these days isn't as daunting as it used to be. With more supply and fewer market constraints, some car companies even have excess new inventory. But the used market has been slower to change, as swaths of buyers continue to look for better deals from private parties.

Even so, depreciation remains a harsh reality, and finding a good deal on a late-model luxury car might be easier than you think. With help from iSeeCars, we've compiled a list of the top 10 used cars with the biggest price drops in 2023. Some of these models won't be too surprising, but the effects of a pseudo-EV price war and surging demand for affordable commuter cars are clear. And it's worth remembering that the national average for year-over-year price drops is 3.6%.

Tesla Model 3

Tesla pricing has gone up and down like a yo-yo in 2023, hence Tesla models taking up three spots on this list. But the Model 3 is unique in that it's Tesla's most affordable offering and often an entry point to EV ownership for many.

EV-curious buyers will be happy to know that used Tesla Model 3 prices are down 30% from June 2022, for an average price of $37,023.

Tesla Model X

Not as popular as the Model Y, the Model X still retains its oddball charisma in the form of falcon wing doors. In some ways, the Model X is a bit of an old-news entry and its pricing trends reflect that.

With a 21.3% price drop since June 2022, average sticker prices for second-hand Model X hover around $70,158.

Nissan Leaf

For a more affordable option, it's hard to overlook the Nissan Leaf. With Nissan's new Ariya providing a more modern EV experience, the Leaf is falling by the wayside.

But that doesn't mean the Leaf is a bad choice, especially for those in metropolitan areas or those with shorter commutes. Used Leaf prices are down 19% year-over-year, and recent sales data indicates you can grab a used one for around $22,500.

Tesla Model S

The Model S is Tesla's lineup elder, having been released in 2012. With the exception of limited editions such as the 200-mph track pack version, the Model S is a bit tired at this point, so you might be able to grab one for $64,938.

Prices are down by around 19% year-over-year, with an average dollar drop of $15,212.
