In 2018 I bought a Jeep Wrangler for $40,050.

Vroom offered me $42,722 for it today

Doesn't that have more to do with the automotive/chip supply issues than inflation?

Inflation is pretty much always a supply issue.

Yes and 1/3rd of the inflation is attributed to vehicle prices.

Another anecdote: my 2015 Infiniti just a few months ago was estimated at $15k, last weekend KBB showed $17.5k.
