Indianapolis used car prices: October 2026

That metro-wide median is down 17.0% on September 2026 ($7,200), but it mixes whatever makes, models and years happened to list each month. The model moves below compare the same model years in both months, which is the number to bid from.
No model had enough listings in the same model years in both September 2026 and October 2026 to call a price move, so we don't publish one.

"Same-year change" compares only model years with at least 3 listings in both September 2026 and October 2026, so a month that happened to list newer cars doesn't read as a price rise. It is blank when fewer than 10 listings could be compared. The raw change is shown for reference and does not control for model year.
