Towards the end of 2021, the average price of a used vehicle soared to $29,011. That’s a 39% jump from just twelve months earlier! And because used car prices have skyrocketed, US News reported that over half of Americans have less income than is considered necessary to buy the average-priced used vehicle.
What used to be a $5,000 car is now $8,000. What used to be $8,000 is now $12,000.
If you add up taxes, fees, a 10% down payment, and the average dealer interest rate of around 7.5%, the average used vehicle will now cost you around $520 a month, even by stretching the financing out for six years.*
While we at Inspire can’t adjust the price of the used car and truck market, we can help make the process of finding your next vehicle easier and cheaper.

You can avoid getting into a high interest loan by getting pre qualified. Being pre-qualified means you don’t have to spend your day sitting through the back-and-forth negotiations at the dealer. If you’re not a member yet, you can still apply for a loan today.
