Sales of used cars by official dealers in the 1st half of the year fell by 43%

For 6 months of 2022, official dealers in Russia sold 216.4 thousand used cars. This is 43% lower than in the 1st half of 2021. Such data were given on July 29th by the executive director of the agency "AUTOSTAT" Sergey Udalov during the live broadcast of "AUTOSTAT Operativka. Used cars. Results of the 1st half of 2022". Recall that the entire secondary market during this time showed a fall of 22%. As a result, the share of "officials" in it decreased to 10%. In other words, only every tenth used car for the previous six months was sold through dealer networks. At the same time, in 2020 this indicator was 14.5%, and in 2021 - 12.9%. The fall in sales of used cars by official dealers is mainly attributed to a decrease in the volumes of their delivery at dealerships under the trade-in program, suppose the experts of Autostat agency. That is, customers began to use trade-in less when buying a new car.
