In Moscow, the used car market is falling, while it is growing in St. Petersburg

Moscow and St. Petersburg remain the largest used car markets among all Russian cities. But if in the capital of the country the secondary market shows a decline, then in St. Petersburg its growth is observed. So, according to the agency "AUTOSTAT", for 11 months of 2020, the market of used cars in Moscow decreased by 1.8% and in St. Petersburg during the same period it grew by 4.2%.

If we consider 25 Russian cities in terms of the volume of the secondary market, then, in addition to the capital, a drop is observed in five more cities: Rostov-on-Don, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Ufa and Nizhny Novgorod. At the same time, only in the last of them the market fell more (-3%) than in Moscow.

In other 19 cities, the used car market is growing. Moreover, in four of them its growth was even higher than in the Northern capital: Irkutsk (+ 4.5%), Tolyatti (+ 5.6%), Perm (+ 5.8%), Kazan (+ 7%).
