    You use the fair market value of the car when you started using it.

    Even if it was COVID and pre-owned prices had skyrocketed? The car was worth more 3 months later than when I purchased it.

    Yes, you use the fair market value when you started using it for business. The rules haven't changed due to COVID or inflation.
