• The auction offer may have demand. According to Avito Auto, the used car market in 2023 amounted to almost 5.7 million units and grew by 17%. The demand for used cars is constantly growing due to the shortage of supply of used cars in good condition and the increasing prices of new cars. In 2023, interest in used cars increased by 12%. Over the course of the year, used car prices increased by 45%, but most of this growth occurred in late fall, when recycling rates increased significantly.
• Unlike new cars, the number of offers on the used car market decreased by 13%. The increasing period of car ownership and the high base effect of 2022, when a large number of offers entered the market in a short time, are having an impact, service experts concluded.

On December 12, 2023, the Arbitration Court declared Network Svyaznoy bankrupt and opened bankruptcy proceedings.
