The most popular brands in the secondary market are now very different from the list of leaders in new car sales, where, according to the agency’s analysts, 55.2% are Chinese brands and 33.6% are Russian brands.
Dealers and experts explained that the demand for used cars is affected by the departure of some customers to the new car market, where discounts and special offers were in force in the spring.
The price of used cars, according to Avto.ru, in March decreased for the first time since the beginning of the year – by 4% compared to February, to 1.4 million rubles. For car dealers, after the increase in February, the average cost in March decreased by 2.5% to 2.1 million rubles.
