After years of record-high prices in the post-pandemic used-car market, prices appear to be tilting back in favor of buyers. Well, at least in some segments. 

According to a recent iSeeCars study analyzing 2.4 million used vehicles, while the average price of a three-year-old used car has increased by over 40% since the pandemic, the electric vehicle segment continues to see prices fall.

While the Tesla brand has experienced the largest decline in used car prices over the past year, with a price drop of over 8%, electric vehicles aren't the only ones ready to be scooped up at low prices. If you want to make the right money moves, read on to discover 10 used cars that are a steal right now.

Editor's note: The average car price is sourced from iSeeCars data, analyzing the difference between one-to-five-year-old cars sold in May 2024 and May 2025. Car price estimates are sourced from Kelley Blue Book.

If you've ever wanted to cruise down the highway behind the wheel of a Land Rover, now might just be the perfect opportunity. While the 2025 model starts at over $60,000, used models from the last five years are a steal. Consumers can expect to pay at least $3,000 less for one of these used models today compared to a year ago.

Depreciation has not been kind to this Land Rover. While the typical luxury midsize SUV depreciates at a rate of 54.9%, the Range Rover Velar's depreciation rate is slightly above average at 58.1%. However, what you save in monthly payments, be ready to put back into the gas tank. This SUV is not the most efficient in its class, averaging just 21 to 23 miles per gallon combined.

Chevrolet Corvette - Convertible
