A new study from iSeeCars that looked at 8.9 million sales found that used vehicles from the 2021 and 2022 model years are now selling at an average of $3,701, or 8.1% below the cost of a new one.
That's almost perfectly flipped from a year ago when used vehicles were going for a $3,574 premium.

The fuel efficient Toyota Corolla Hybrid had the second-highest premium at 7.9%, while the Mercedes-Benz G-Class ultra luxury SUV was third at 4.6%.

The high fuel efficiency and relatively low cost of several of these reflect "the ongoing consumer interest in saving money on fuel costs as gasoline prices remain high," according to the iSeeCars report.
