- New car prices have been trending downward overall for months now.
- March was the first time in months car buyers didn’t shell out more than a vehicle was listed for.

New cars are selling below sticker price for the first time in years — signaling that car buying might be finally getting better for the average consumer.
The average amount that Americans spent on a new vehicle in March was $48,008, according to Kelley Blue Book — or $171 below an average sticker price of $48,179 (including luxury and non-luxury cars). For comparison, just a year earlier, consumers were paying on average nearly $1,000 more than the sticker price for a new car.
