Three-year-old cars of the premium segment lose much more in price – up to 40%,
– tracks from analysts’ report.

Which cars are more profitable to buy, then relying on a good deal and what is the remaining value of socialbites.ca cars? Wrote Previously.
What are they faster
The maintenance cost of cheaper cars decreases over time. Jan Haytseer, vice president of the National Automobile Association (NAU), says such three-year-old cars are less costly to lose, and prices may even rise in current conditions.
“Expensive cars lose more of their value as a percentage.
Even a month after purchase, the price can drop by 20-40%.
Such a car is much more expensive to maintain,” Heitzeer tells socialbites.ca.
For buyers of used cars, the vice president of NAS advises to focus on the opinions of auto collectors and other specialists, it is also useful to calculate how much the car has to maintain. For example, the SUV “Patriot” of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant will require more investment than other budget-class cars in the Russian Federation.
“The same UAZ Patriot could be trashed in three years.
It requires solid investments, during which holes may appear in the car, and they are often used ruthlessly. If nothing happens to the Land Rover Defender or Toyota Land Cruiser in three years, the Patriot will fall apart in that time. “Patriot” sometimes needs to be repaired with new ones, and after 50-70 thousand km they have to be completely repaired,” says Heitzeer.
Slower than others due to cheaper maintenance, affordable Renault cars (made in Russia), Volkswagen (primarily the Polo model), as well as Hyundai, Kia and AvtoVAZ products built on the basis of Renault, prices are falling, lists of experts .
“Let’s imagine this for the work of those bought for 1.5 million rubles. a car needs to spend about 100 thousand rubles a year. At the same time, the first maintenance for a more expensive Range Rover of the same year of manufacture will cost 50 thousand rubles, ”adds the interlocutor of the publication.

Alexander Pakhomov, chairman of the board of the Automobile Services Association, explains that the price of a used car is affected not only by its operating cost, but also by the image of the brand and consumer demand.
“There are two classmate cars that are almost the same in terms of consumer qualities and equipment, but they are cars of different brands and of different prices. At the same time, someone finds a car worthy of more attention, so its price artificially increases, ”Pakhomov told socialbites.ca.
It is impossible, impossible, to argue that cars whose price has decreased over the three-year ownership period are worse than competitors in their class whose price has increased,
interlocutor notes.
“Their low cost means only one thing – such cars sell worse. The initial price plays an important role – the seller tries to reach the amount that he paid for the car, ”says the chairman of the board of the Auto Services Association
Still, car residual value ratings are beneficial for buyers in investment interests, he says.
“By consumer standards, a three-year-old car is new, almost new. The buyer of such a car hopes that in a few years he will sell it for someone else. A particular example of a car that has lost its price is much better than a particular example of a model that has lost its value,” Pakhomov said. could be,” he sums up.
