The supply on the secondary market has not expanded since the beginning of autumn. Now, as expected, there are not enough “fresh” models – up to three years old and costing 1 million rubles. The choice of more expensive cars is somewhat wider.
Prices generally depend on the purchase price of the car, which market party and how it was purchased.
Parallel input
Among other things, the situation with prices is affected by low-mileage cars, most often these are new cars imported through parallel imports, they are offered for sale as used. Due to the offers of professional sellers, the average used prices are rising.
Nevertheless, such cars remain few and far between, and liquid offers on the secondary market are becoming less and less due to the reluctance of Russians to sell their cars in the face of a shortage of new models.
