Want To Buy A Used Car? BAD Idea
It might be the worst time ever to buy a used car.
Inflation appears to be getting worse and will likely continue to grow headed into early 2022 as used car prices continue to soar in the United States.
According to Fox Business, the price for used cars and trucks jumped to an astounding 8.3% in just the first half-month of October compared to the previous month.

furthermore, Deutsche Bank strategist Jim Reid stated, “There has been a lag of 2-3 months between the two so as we enter 2022 used cars will still likely be a big upward influence on the CPI number.”
What’s worse is that over the past 12 months, used car prices have shot up 37% overall.
