Hi Tim,
As national gas prices jumped nearly 90 cents this month, used Teslas are selling about twice as fast as the rest of the market.
While the average used car takes 53 days to sell, the Tesla Model X and Cybertruck sell in less than 28 days. The used market hasn’t seen days on market this high since January 2024.
The latest iSeeCars study found that used cars are taking about 41% longer to sell than a year ago, while new cars are selling 15% faster year-over-year.
Here are the fastest-selling used cars:

“The slowing trend in used car sales is undeniable over the past 7 months,” said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer. “If used car shoppers are both tired of high prices and feeling less confident about their spending power, that days-on-market number could rise further in the coming months.”
New Data Added: We’ve just updated the study with new-car data for the fastest- and slowest-selling models and 12-month trends.
