Fastest-Selling Used Vehicles

iSeeCars also analyzed the top 20 fastest-selling used vehicles. The average used car takes 46.2 days to sell, while the top 20 fastest-selling vehicles average 28.2 days and sell 1.5 to 1.9 times faster than the average used vehicle. The list of fastest-selling used vehicles is led by alternative-fuel vehicles, which includes nine hybrids and three fully-electric vehicles.

Top 20 Fastest-Selling Used Vehicles in January 2022- iSeeCars Study
Rank	Vehicle	Average Days to Sell	Average Price
1	Tesla Model Y	24.7	$67,121
2	Toyota Prius Prime	25.8	$28,844
3	Honda Insight	25.9	$27,191
4	Tesla Model 3	26.5	$50,996
5	Toyota Prius	26.7	$26,340
6	Toyota Corolla Hybrid	27.6	$27,472
7	Ford Mustang Mach-E	27.7	$58,744
8	Toyota GR Supra	27.8	$57,545
9	Mitsubishi Outlander	28.4	$23,525
10	Mazda MAZDA3	28.6	$25,192
11	Chevrolet Trailblazer	29.3	$31,125
12	Audi A3	29.3	$29,305

18	Ford Bronco Sport	30.4	$40,103
19	Cadillac XTS	30.6	$30,004
20	Toyota Highlander Hybrid	30.9	$46,626
Average for All Used Vehicles		46.2	$35,925

The fastest-selling used vehicle is the Tesla Model Y electric crossover, which takes on average 24.7 days to sell. “The highly-anticipated Tesla Model Y was the best-selling electric vehicle in America in 2021 after making its debut in 2020, and the lightly-used versions that are just entering the used car marketplace are in high demand,” said Brauer. A second Tesla, the Model 3 also makes the list. “A new version of the Model 3’s Standard Range Plus variant isn’t expected until June 2022, which further elevates the demand for used versions, some of which are being sold at higher prices than new versions ,” added Brauer. 

 

Nine hybrid vehicles make the list including the Toyota Prius Prime plug-in hybrid, the Honda Insight, the Toyota Prius, the Toyota Corolla Hybrid, the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, the Honda Accord Hybrid, the Toyota Venza, the Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid, and the Toyota Highlander Hybrid. “Many of these hybrids are new models that are just coming to the used car marketplace and are in short supply, including the Toyota Venza that debuted in 2021, the Toyota Corolla that debuted in 2020, and the Honda Insight that debuted in 2019,” said Brauer. “Just as in the new car marketplace, hybrid and plug-in vehicles are hot sellers as fuel prices have increased by 40 percent in January compared to last year.”

Another joke Jay...."fastest-selling" is again off-topic, which is true to form for your work, always off-topic. 

The topic is not which is the "fastest-selling" but how many are sold. EVs are not even a significant factor in the used market, not even a blip.  It is totally dominated by ICE vehicles.

Your responses are getting more pathetic by the day.

Fastest selling is a top indicator of demand. As more EVs are produced and sold through the new car market their numbers in the used car market will grow proportionally. Too bad you don't understand the topic.

The self-strangulating policies of the Green Brigade have brought us to this point of disaster, just as anyone could have predicted. This is what happens when a government goes Green and declares war on 85% of the energy source.

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Canceling-Keystone-XL-May-Have-Been-Bidens-Biggest-Blunder.html

"...in a few years, the failure to have Keystone XL in place could be a contributor to higher gasoline prices. If the demand is there, and it is more expensive to ship oil from Russia, for example, then gasoline prices are going to be higher.

Many environmentalists will acknowledge that, and say this is just fine with them. Higher gasoline prices should lead to more conservation. That’s true, but it also leads to losing elections, and the loss of the ability to pursue your agenda.

Ultimately, canceling Keystone XL was about sending a message. But when you weigh the actual impact versus the political impact that many got from the message, it was just the wrong decision to cancel it.

Finally, this entire analysis doesn’t even consider the $15 billion TC Energy is seeking in damages from the U.S. government for the cancellation of the project under the terms of the North American Free Trade Agreement. If they are awarded damages, then the decision changed what would have been a positive for the economy into a significant net negative."

Nonsense, it means precisely nothing in terms of market penetration. What counts is number of sales. Elementary, Jay...I guess you skipped your economics courses.

Oil and coal and natural gas are the hottest commodities around, and getting hotter.

https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Goldman-Sachs-Oil-Prices-To-Average-135-Per-Barrel-This-Year.html

"Oil prices are set to average $135 per barrel this year as the world could face the “largest energy supply shocks ever” with Russian crude struggling to make it to the market, according to Goldman Sachs.

The investment bank significantly hiked its oil price forecasts for 2022 and 2023. Goldman now sees the spot Brent Crude price averaging $135 a barrel this year, up from $98 expected earlier. The forecast for 2023 is now $115 a barrel spot Brent, compared to $105 previously."

If no one wanted to "buy into that" EVs wouldn't be the fastest selling used cars.

Ford CEO Farley: No Plan to Spin Off EV Business

Ford, Farley said, can’t just pivot from internal combustion engines to battery-powered vehicles. The internal combustion engine organization is good at body, paint and manufacturing, and would be envied by startup EV makers.

But “I can’t turn to the ICE organization and say ‘go be Tesla.’ They may do it on the (auto) body. They may do it in plant operations, but that’s not good enough,” he said, without giving specifics of what changes are coming.

Ford has only 15% of the market in the U.S., so the transition to battery vehicles is a chance to attract new customers. But Farley said it needs to make the buying process simple and all online.

You didn't answer my question but whatever. The dealer body told him no such thing! The new plan puts pain to the dealers as even your blurb states "But Farley said it needs to make the buying process simple and all online."

Ford EV, ICE split will mean big changes for dealers

Ford is asking its dealers to implement some of the most significant changes to their business in decades as it works to modernize its retail strategy and beat back threats from Tesla and EV startups. https://www.autonews.com/dealers/ford-ev-ice-split-will-mean-big-changes-dealers

Ford Dealers Will Likely Have To Sell EVs At Fixed Prices Under New Plan

Change has proven to be abundant in the automotive world over the past couple of years, with the chip shortage prompting automakers like Ford to shift strategy by trimming inventory and moving toward a more profitable build-to-order model. This is nothing new for EV automakers like Rivian or Tesla, however, which currently sell vehicles built to order at fixed prices with little to no physical inventory or even dealerships/showrooms to speak of. Now, it seems that Ford dealers may very likely also have to sell electric vehicles at fixed prices soon, according to a new report from Automotive News.

As Ford Authority reported last week, FoMoCo plans to split its business into two distinct entities – Model e, which will focus on EVs, and Ford Blue, which will focus on ICE vehicles, and will ask dealers to specialize in either one of the two or its Ford Pro commercial business. While many long-standing traditions won’t change as part of this split, Ford is reportedly looking at developing a new set of operating standards for Ford dealers that sell EVs which would capitalize on the strength of its dealer network while also borrowing a few ideas from automakers like Rivian and Tesla.

Those standards include things like selling EVs at fixed prices, carrying zero inventory, and operating in scaled-down facilities. Dealers will be allowed to opt-in if they wish to sell the automaker’s EVs alongside ICE-powered vehicles. It’s currently unclear how much such a move would cost dealers or what sort of requirements will be in place, though the automaker’s “next-generation” EV certification costs roughly $35,000. Dealers that currently sell the Ford Mustang Mach-E and E-Transit will be allowed to continue to do so – along with the Ford F-150 Lightning – through the end of 2023, while the new retail model would launch in January of 2024.

That day will never come. Jay that's the beauty of the auto business. See the mistakes of others and capitalizing on it.

But I'm quite sure the mfg's love this artificial environment, selling cars and no incentives, no competition. In the end it makes for very bad results.

Too late for that to matter in regard to EVs. The market, both consumers and investors, has spoken. Legacy ICE companies aren't running in fear of Tesla because of the EPA.
