In this material we will analyze which used cars are sold in our country more often and more expensive than others.

Statistics on sales of used cars allows us to divide cars into 4 categories - by make, model, year of production and prices that sellers ask for cars.

Stamps

According to AUTOSTAT data as of November 2017, the 10 best-selling brands in Russia are:

• Lada;
• Toyota;
• Nissan;
• Hyundai;
• Chevrolet;
• Ford;
• Volkswagen;
• Renault;
• Mitsubishi.

The Russian auto industry traditionally leads the ranking of sales of used cars - our cars are much more cheaper than foreign cars and easier to maintain. In 2017, our compatriots sold and bought 1.4 million VAZ cars.

Half a million Toyotas also found new owners. Japanese brand It occupies second place in the rating for good reason - sales are growing, and boring models are being replaced by restylings.

Third place - Nissan. In 2017, our compatriots sold and bought a quarter of a million cars of the Japanese brand.

Models

If you are planning to sell Ford Focus II, rest assured: the machine will find buyer quickly. In the top ten best-selling cars by model today:

• LADA 2114;
• LADA 2107;
• Ford Focus;
• LADA 2110;
• LADA 2170 (“Priora”);
• LADA 4X4;
• Toyota Corolla;
• LADA 2112;
• LADA 2115;
• Hyundai Solaris.

Among Russian models Today, the “fourteenth” is more often sold - 400 thousand cars, the “seven” - 280 and the “ten”, of which the Russians sold 225 thousand units.

Focus has obvious leadership among foreign cars - 125 thousand cars were resold this year. Next comes the Corolla - 100 thousand cars went under the hammer. Solaris took third place in sales - 70 thousand cars were sold on the secondary market.

Age

Statistics on the sale of used cars by year of production are divided into 4 categories:

• 8 years and older;
• 6-7 years;
• 4-5 years;
• 3 years and younger.

40% of used cars sold are 8 years and older. The most popular cars now are from 2007-2009. The 2008 Corolla is most often sold.

Cars produced in 2012-2013 are slightly less popular. They take up a quarter of all cars sold. The undisputed leader is Focus 2012.

Next come cars produced in 2010-2011, the most popular of which is the 2011 Solaris.

Owners are still reluctant to display cars made in 2014 or younger. However, there are already announcements. The leader is the same Solaris, but from 2014.

Prices

Statistics on sales of used cars in Russia are also monitored by prices and their relationship with mileage.

The most popular range is from 300 to 600 thousand rubles. This is 36% of all sales on secondary market cars

The next most popular are cars costing up to 300 thousand rubles, for example, the domestic “Grant” 2013.

Then there are cars for which the owner asks from 1 to 1.5 million rubles. Best car for this money - Camry 2012.

The least popular are used cars priced over 1.5 million rubles. The 2008 Land Cruiser is in the lead here.

Car history

Whatever the statistics say, check the clean history of the car you are selling. This also determines how quickly the car goes under the hammer.

You can find out whether the car was in an accident while it was being repaired, and how old it really is, using the Autocode service. The service will check the car in 5 minutes, you just need to know the state number or VIN. By running the scan, you will also learn:

• mileage history;
• repair work;
• PTS and OSAGO data;
• information about pledge, loan, arrest;
• history of fines;
• information about working in a taxi;
• customs history;
• information about maintenance.

Car in in perfect order- there is every chance of selling it for good money. But if the check shows that the car’s mileage is incorrect, fines are imposed or it fails technical inspection, be prepared to correct the situation or at least make a discount. After all, the buyer can also check the car before meeting you.
