The total supply of used vehicles on dealer lots (franchise and independent) stood at 2.27 million units.
The average used-vehicle listing price was $25,571, up slightly from the revised $25,536 at the start of April but down 6% from a year earlier.
Affordability remains challenging for consumers and supply is more constrained at lower price points.

“As tax refund season winds down, it’s normal to see consumer demand for used vehicles back off in April, and that’s what we experienced this year as well. With interest rates remaining elevated, consumers need a bit more of a push to buy at this time of year.”
