These Are The 10 Slowest Selling Used Vehicles Right Now

The big Blue Oval sedan won’t be around much longer, at least as new-car inventory. There are plenty in the used market though, and they generally take just a bit longer to sell than the MKX we saw previously. Chalk it up to a rather dated design and sales trends that are seeing sedan popularity drop like the proverbial stone in water.

As far as three-row SUVs are concerned, the CX-9 is a fun machine. Unfortunately, most shoppers in the three-row segment are more interested in practicality and capability, which Mazda sacrifices to a degree for its trademark zoom-zoominess. That could be why most examples go unsold for nearly 63 days in the used market.

In a sea of cookie-cutter crossovers, the XT5 does an admirable job of standing out. We think most people like the Caddy’s style, but our time behind the wheel was a bit disappointing compared to its luxury competitors. We can easily see why it’s a slow mover on dealer lots, especially if sales managers are stubborn when it comes to pricing. In short, there are better options unless you can get the XT5 at a deep discount.

There’s no question that the Flex is a love-it-hate-it vehicle, and that likely contributes to its 64.3 average days spent on sale. That's too bad, because the boxy shape that some people hate makes it a terrifically spacious people mover. It is a dated platform, however, and it can also be quite pricey in certain trims.

The posh SUV isn’t lacking in looks and capability, but its price point keeps it rather high compared to similar-sized luxury competition. And we must be honest – there’s the Land Rover reputation for sketchy reliability that befalls the Discovery Sport, which likely keeps potential buyers at bay as well.

One of the world’s best sports cars is number four on the list? The problem here isn’t quality or capability, but price. Buyers in the market for such a machine might have trouble justifying a used 911 when other brand-spanking-new performance cars are available for the same price.

Tied with the Porsche 911 at nearly 70 days, the Buick LaCrosse isn’t competing with new cars at a high price point. Rather, it’s a sedate sedan simply trying to compete in an SUV-dominated market, and the LaCrosse just doesn’t have much to offer potential buyers that can't be found in better packages.

Going by the numbers, we reckon a Buick Regal will sell approximately 54 minutes after the LaCrosse it was parked next to for 67 days. Like the LaCrosse, the Regal is simply a sedan struggling to compete in the SUV world. That's unfortunate because it’s a fabulous car, but Buick languished as GM’s retirement division for so long that potential younger buyers may not give the Regal a chance before pulling the trigger on something else.

Is it a funny coincidence that the slowest-selling used car on this list also happens to be one of the fastest SUVs in the world? Perhaps, but the Cayenne suffers the same high-price problem shared by the 911. It might be hard to justify a used Cayenne when new luxury SUVs with similar options and amenities are available. A secondary factor might be the Cayenne's styling which, though not as polarizing as the Ford Flex, still has plenty of critics.
