Too Afraid to Ask

A “bubble” means car prices got inflated for a while, often because everyone wanted the same kind of car. When interest cools or better examples show up, the prices can fall again.

Technical Definition

A “bubble” in car pricing refers to a period when values rise faster than fundamentals like condition, supply, and long-term demand. When the bubble cools, prices can drop sharply—especially for cars that were hyped as “clean” or scarce but later prove harder to find in truly good condition.
