An increase in prices for used cars has been recorded in Russia

In Russia, an increase in the price of one category of cars was recorded: used cars increased in price by 7-8 percent. The average price of a used car reached 1.45 million rubles. Analyst Sergei Tselikov provides such data in his Telegram channel.

In January, this figure was 1.34 million rubles, in April it increased to 1.37 million, after which it fluctuated between 1.36-1.39 million. Over the four weeks of September, average prices added more than 50 thousand rubles (4 percent) and reached 1,445,300 rubles.

Thus, over nine months, the average prices of offers (not completed transactions) on three popular sites for selling cars increased by more than 100 thousand rubles (8 percent). The expert recalled that last year, due to weak demand, prices for used cars decreased. The lowest figure was recorded in November - 1.3 million rubles.

Tselikov emphasized that average prices on ad sites do not take into account the number of models sold. In the study of the Autostat agency, which is headed by an expert, the final prices of deleted advertisements are used. They are as close as possible to the actual cost of contracts. According to these data, an increase is also observed in September, but less pronounced than according to published proposals (an increase of 2 percent). Over nine months, the growth between active and deleted listings is almost identical (7 percent).
