You're Not Imagining Things: Cheap Used Cars Are Vanishing
If you're struggling to find a decent used car for under $20,000, you're not alone, and you're not imagining things. A new study from iSeeCars finds that the number of affordable, late-model used vehicles has dropped off a cliff in recent years. Back in 2019, nearly half (49.3%) of all 3-year-old used cars were priced at or below $20,000. Today, that number has shriveled to just 11.5%. The average price of a 3-year-old used car is now $32,635 - a staggering 40.9% jump from 2019, when it was just $23,159. While the pandemic may feel like old news, its economic aftershocks are still distorting the car market. "The pandemic may be a fading memory, but the lack of new car production five years ago has created a 'pandemic hangover' effect," said Karl Brauer, executive analyst at iSeeCars. The most affordable segment of the used market - cars under $20,000 - has shrunk dramatically across all major vehicle types. Passenger cars saw the steepest increase in price, climbing 48.7% since 2019. That means entry-level sedans that once anchored the affordable used car market are now largely out of reach. In 2019, more than 70% of 3-year-old passenger cars were priced under $20,000. In 2025? Just 28.1%. SUVs fared even worse, dropping from 39.2% to a mere 8.1% share in the sub-$20K category. The shift in pricing is especially evident in once-affordable bestsellers. A few years ago, it wasn't hard to find a lightly used Honda Civic or Toyota Camry for under $20,000. Now, those same models are averaging well over that threshold. The Civic's average price jumped 44.6% to $23,813, while the Camry rose 43.5% to $23,755. Some of the biggest price leaps came from small sedans: Nissan Sentra: Up 45.7% to $18,224Toyota Corolla: Up 37.7% to $19,792Chevy Equinox: Up 27.5% to $22,228 These were once the go-to models for frugal shoppers. Today, they're inching closer to new-car pricing, without the warranties or latest tech. The used car market has been rising for three straight months, and there's little indication prices will fall significantly anytime soon. The pandemic-related slowdown in new car production from 2020 to 2022 created a ripple effect that still limits the supply of newer used vehicles. Yet demand remains strong, especially for reliable models from Toyota, Honda, and Subaru. For buyers with a strict $20,000 budget, the result is clear: you'll likely need to shop older, higher-mileage vehicles, or rethink what kind of car you can afford. As Brauer put it, "Many car buyers are now priced out of late-model used cars, forcing them to consider older models with more miles to fit within their budget." Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc.

Here's What It Costs To Charge a Tesla Monthly vs. Using Gas for a Honda Civic
Filling up your car is going to cost you money one way or another. For an electric vehicle, like a Tesla, you need to find a charging station to give your battery the juice it needs to operate. For other cars, like a Honda Civic, the price of gas can be fairly high if you are planning on getting a full tank at the pump. For You: Trending Now: So let's do the math: read below to find out what it actually costs to charge a Tesla each month compared to the price of gas for a Honda Civic in the same month. Joseph Nagle, head of Corporate Strategy at Pando Electric, broke down this question in a few ways, looking at monthly fuel costs, which will vary based on state, analyzing national costs versus two of the larger electric vehicles (EVs) states that also have a fairly wide variance between electricity pricing and gas. Nagle outlined an example based on 1,000 miles driven each month, with Tesla Model 3 efficiency clocking in at approximately 4 miles per kWh and Honda Civic coming to 33 MPG combined. When it comes to national averages, Nagle listed the cost of electricity at 15 cents per kWh while gas came to about $3.75 per gallon. Check Out: Looking at annual costs, Tesla Model 3's calculation is $37.50 per month (250 kWh x 15 cents), equaling $450 yearly and the Honda Civic calculation looks like $113.63 per month (30.3 gal x $3.75), equaling $1,363.56 yearly. This means that across the country, the savings go to Tesla at $76.13 a month, which equals $913.56 per year. To further illustrate the cost comparison between a Tesla and Honda Civic, Nagle analyzed two states: California, which has a high-cost market for transportation expenses and Florida's lower-cost region for fuel. In California, electricity costs on average 33 cents per kWh and gasoline is $4.78 per gallon. Examining annual vehicle costs in the state, the Tesla Model 3's bill comes out to $82.50 per month (250 kWh x 33 cents), equaling $990 a year, while the Honda Civic is $144.08 per month (30.3 gal x $4.78), equaling $1,728.96 a year. This means the Tesla has a savings of $61.58 a month or $738.96 per year. Florida, on the other hand, has average costs of 16 cents per kWh for electrics and $3.08 per gallon for gasoline. Factoring the yearly vehicle costs in Florida would have a Tesla Model 3 amounting to $480 a year based on $40 per month (250 kWh x 16 cents) and a Honda Civic at $1,119.84 a year coming from $93.32 per month (30.3 gal x $3.08). Again, the Tesla wins with $53.32 per month, adding up to $639.84 a year. In every scenario-national average, California's high-cost market and Florida's lower-cost region — Nagle had some insights to share. 'The Tesla Model 3 substantially outperforms the Honda Civic in terms of fueling costs. Even with California's significantly higher electricity prices, Tesla remains the cheaper choice monthly and annually,' Nagle said. 'This highlights a key advantage of EV ownership: regardless of location, driving electric consistently costs significantly less than fueling a gasoline-powered vehicle,' he added.

You're Not Going Crazy: Affordable Used Cars are Disappearing
If you're looking for a used car, you'll likely struggle to find a good, affordable option. The average price of a three-year-old used vehicle is up 40.9 percent compared to the market in 2019, and the share of those vehicles that cost under $20,000 is quickly disappearing. Today, a three-year-old used car costs, on average, $32,635, according to a new iSeeCars study. That's a sizable increase from the $23,159 average price in 2019. Six years ago, the sub-$20,000 market made up 49.3 percent of three-year-old used cars. Now, in 2025, only 11.5 percent of used cars for sale cost under $20,000. Price Range Share % 2019 Share % 2025 Share % Change Sub-$20,000 49.3% 11.5% -76.6% $20,000-$30,000 32.7% 43.0% 31.5% $30,000-$40,000 12.4% 26.1% 110.3% $40,000-Plus 5.6% 19.4% 245.7% The pandemic is one major reason for the price increases. COVID-19 triggered a cascade of events that limited new-car production and forced automakers to focus on producing profit-rich models through 2021 and 2022. That has led to a smaller number of affordable used vehicles on the market today. iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer said that "the lack of new car production five years ago has created a "pandemic hangover" effect for today's used car market. He says now that many buyers who cannot afford late-model used cars are looking at older cars with more miles. In 2025, most three-year-old used cars are priced in the $20,000 to $30,000 range, including popular models like the Honda Civic , Toyota Corolla , and Nissan Rouge . They're up 44.6, 37.7, and 34.7 percent, respectively. The percentage of used cars priced in the $30,000 to $40,000 and $40,000-plus ranges have also increased, leaving cost-conscious buyers with fewer choices. What's the reason again for why we can't buy those cheap Chinese EVs? American consumers are clamoring for cheaper vehicles when they're only getting more expensive .
