It depends. If you want a luxury car, the market is down substantially, over 10% for Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, and Maserati. That’s from 2019 to 2020. During the last 90:days it’s a lot less.

Local dealerships insinuate that they are “giving away” the older higher mileage used cars to get them off their lots.

I believe the market on the sports and supercars is down more than 10% now. There is a big spread between asking and selling prices right now.
