According to findings from Kelley Blue Book released in September 2023, the average cost of a new car was well over $48,000, which is up almost $6,000 from two years ago and about $10,000 from September 2020. Various factors have driven this increase. In addition to inflation, continued disruptions to buying habits, manufacturing processes and personal finances related to the global pandemic have taken their toll.
