This has been the sad state of affairs since 2020. Unfortunately as long as people are buying and the market supports it these values will remain higher than what we were accustomed to. I had a hell of a time trying to find my mother a car earlier this year that was less than $20k and not a complete sh!t box. Finally happened across a clean, low mileage CRV with just the basics and jumped on it.Vehicle prices across the board are nuts right now though.
