Tesla Tops List of Used Cars With Biggest Price Drops
Share this @internewscast.com

Last month marked the first increase in overall used car prices in 2.5 years. However, there are 20 car models with notable price drops, offering used car buyers a chance to save money. These vehicles experienced a depreciation of 6.8% to 17.2% over the past year, with electric cars, especially Teslas, prominently featured on this list.

iSeeCars analyzed the pricing of 1.4 million used cars to identify which models lost the most value over the past year. 

Karl Brauer, an Executive Analyst at iSeeCars, noted, “For over two years, prices for Teslas have been decreasing in both the new and used car markets. The reduction in new Tesla prices quickly affected the used Tesla market, causing their prices to drop significantly. Tesla initiated new car price cuts to sustain sales growth, yet this approach faltered last year as the company experienced its first drop in annual sales.”

20 Used Cars With the Largest Price Drops

The top 20 models saw average price decreases ranging from $1,614 to $13,422, against an average used car price increase of $317. The Model S leads the way in price reductions, losing 17.2% of its value year-over-year. Following it are the Porsche Taycan (15.1%), Ford Explorer Hybrid (14.1%), BMW 5 Series hybrid (13.9%), and Tesla Model Y (13.1%), rounding out the top five.

Tesla is the most prominent brand in the top 20, with four models ranked on the list (Model S, Model Y, Model 3, Model X). Although most brands have only one vehicle on the list, Mercedes-Benz has two models (AMG GT, GLB) as does Chrysler (Pacifica, Voyager).

“Tesla has been one of the most profitable automakers in the world in recent years, but the ongoing drop in its new and used vehicle values, along with sagging sales, will be a drag on revenue and profit,” said Brauer.

Methodology

iSeeCars analyzed over 1.4 million 1- to 5-year-old used cars sold in March 2024 and 2025. The average listing prices of each car model were compared between the two time periods, and the differences were expressed as both a percentage difference from the 2024 price as well as a dollar difference. Heavy-duty vehicles, low-volume vehicles, vehicles discontinued as of the 2024 model year, and vehicles in production for fewer than four of the last five model years for each period were excluded from further analysis.
