This is what official statistics compiled by the German aggregator Mobile say. In the spring of 2021, the average price of a used car in Germany was 21,793 euros, now the price tag has risen to 26,817 euros. In addition, the number of advertisements has fallen by 24%: in other words, Europeans are in no hurry to part with their “used ones”!

Another interesting observation is the rapidly increasing demand for compact, fuel-efficient cars. Fearing that gasoline and diesel will continue to rise in price, the Germans are diligently looking for “children” of all kinds and types on the secondary market. For example, a used Volkswagen Polo has increased in price by no less than 38%.

In addition, our western neighbors have started a real hunt for diesel engines. On average, a new diesel Volkswagen Golf now costs 20,018 euros. Although it is quite possible to pick up a fresh, but petrol hatchback for 20,395 euros at a car dealer. But no: people want to let them buy second-hand, but use “heavy fuel”.

However, in Russia, the prices for “beushki” also rose to unimaginable levels! So for the first quarter, the cost of used cars increased from 20 to 50%, and in the last 12 months the price has ranged from 39 to 75%. As a result, used cars are no longer affordable for ordinary Russians.
