What we see here? Yes, the fact that the market of used cars is aging and the reason for this, according to experts, the deficiency of “three years old”.

 

Denis Dolmatov, General Director of the company CarPrice, explained the trend as follows: “In 2015, the new car market “failed” on the third, the results of this failure are visible today, when these cars go to the secondary market. Any shortfall leads to higher prices. In our opinion, at the beginning of 2019, “three year olds” will rise in price by 5-10%. But the car is “aged”, most likely, will not be more expensive: their price depends on condition, mileage, number of owners, condition of the body. Price changes for new cars they have almost no influence just because 7-10 year old models long out of production”.

 

Also in the market becomes less fresh cars age 4-6 years. Experts CarPrice this is attributed to the increase in the term of car ownership. The owners of these machines are in no hurry to part with them, waiting for what will happen to the market and prices. And it is quite logical. Any owner of such vehicle, I think will agree with this.
