Sales of used vehicles in the first quarter fell by 5,7 percent compared to the same period last year, while at the same time, a slight increase in prices was recorded in the first three months, according to the latest data from the Used Cars website.
"Specifically, in the first three months, 30.363 imported used cars were registered for the first time, while in 2022 that number was 32.215. These results show the continuation of the downward trend in used car sales. Last year, 15 percent less used cars were sold compared to 2021," says Petar Veličković of the PR site Polovni automobili for the "Vremena" portal.
Used car prices continued to rise in this year as well.
"Prices are on a slight rise. The average price of passenger cars with domestic license plates advertised on the Used Cars website in January of this year was 8.582 euros, while in March the price rose to 8.634 euros," says Veličković.
He reminds that price growth has been going on for almost three years. So the average price of used cars advertised on this site in 2022 was 24 percent higher than the average price in 2021 and even 38 percent higher than in 2020.
"The jump in prices last year was most noticeable for used cars that were produced after 2010. "In the first quarter of this year, the price range is minimal, so the average price for vehicles produced between 2010 and 2023 in March is almost identical to January," notes Veličković.
What is bought the most?
The website Polovni automovili points out that another piece of data indicates that the behavior of buyers will not change significantly this year compared to the previous one.
"In fact, although the ban on the import of used cars with Euro 3 and Euro 4 standards has been announced, it is precisely vehicles with Euro 4 engines that are most in demand. According to the data of the website Polovni automobili, the cars manufactured in 2007 and 2008 were sold the most in the first quarter, and the situation was identical in 2022", says Petar Veličković.
Data from the first quarter shows that drivers are still leaning towards cars with diesel engines. Also, there are no major changes when it comes to models that are popular among our drivers. In this quarter as well, the Volkswagen Golf, Passat and Polo models are by far the most popular, followed by the Fiat Punto and Audi A4. In addition to Volkswagen, this year, buyers most often opt for the models of the German manufacturers Audi and Opel, followed by the "French", i.e. Peugeot and Renault.
