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.

Association European business(AEB) announced the results of last year on the Russian automobile market. And they can’t help but rejoice: demand for new cars increased by 11.9%. The last time sales grew was in 2012, when a Russian record was set, after which sales began to gradually fall. The recovery that began in March 2017 continued until the end of the year, and as a result, according to the AEB, in twelve months we sold 1 million 596 new cars and light commercial vehicles versus 1 million 426 thousand in 2016.
December became the most successful month of the year (166 thousand cars): according to tradition, buyers rushed to dealers for new cars, falling for New Year's discounts and fearing price increases after the New Year holidays. And in general, the situation on the market last year was relatively stable: exchange rates, oil prices and general economic situation There were no serious shocks, buyers began to get used to the new prices, and in addition, the pent-up demand that had accumulated in recent years had an impact.
Sales of new cars in Russia in 2014-2017.
The main increase came from the market leaders: nine brands from the top ten of the rating showed an increase from 5 to 22%, with Lada, which traditionally ranks first, adding 17% at once! And only Toyota ended the year with zero dynamics, behind Volkswagen. By the end of the year, Ravon, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Chery and Suzuki were in profit. But the premium segment is not doing well: Mercedes has not progressed, Land Rover and Porsche sank by 3-8%, Audi sales fell by 18%. And UAZ lost 15% in a growing market.
The best-selling model of 2017, according to official data, was Kia Rio: 96,689 cars and an increase of 14%. By the end of the year, when stocks of previous generation cars ran out, demand went down, but the cross-hatchback should correct the situation Rio X-Line. Second and third places were taken by Ladas: Granta (93686) and Vesta (77291). Leads among crossovers Hyundai Creta: 55 thousand cars and fifth place in the absolute ranking.
What's in store for 2018? This is surprising, but for the first time in its entire practice, the AEB refused to give a forecast: an increase in excise taxes and recycling fee may result in a serious increase in prices for new cars. And if the increase turns out to be large, then further growth may not happen. However, it will be mainly imported cars that will come under attack, and their share in our country is insignificant. Therefore, many market players agree that sales growth will continue in 2018, although the pace will drop to 5-10%.
