There are practically no new cars left at car dealerships, so citizens are forced to pay attention to the secondary market. There are plenty of suggestions. However, on the “secondary” there are many models that lose value quickly, and for various reasons. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about cars that you should not mess with.
When preparing the material, we focused not only on our own data, but also on the reports of the experts of the project “The Right Price” and the agency “Avtostat Info”. The most illiquid cars in the mass segment among the three-year-old cars they call the French Peugeot 508 sedan, as well as the Chinese Lifan Solano. There is an explanation for this. The “French” were never our favorite, they were considered fragile and difficult to repair. So far, it’s stuck in buyers’ minds and hinders sales. And speaking specifically about the model: the 508th is quite well equipped and comfortable, but requires expensive maintenance. That is quite a lot for a used car. And the timing chain wears out on the model quite quickly, which also requires attention. And again, money…
If we talk about Lifan Solano, then this is one of the first models of the Chinese manufacturer, which was sold in Russia. She was characterized by a mass of “sores”: from a rotting body to problems with spare parts. Against this background, the air recirculation function in the cabin, which turns on at the same time as starting the engine and causes constant fogging of the windows, is a trifle.
The compact crossover Lifan X50 turned out to be just as illiquid. It was not much in demand, not even new, but second-hand and more. The “used” car was characterized by a significant number of problems. In addition to the rotting body, the Chinese SUV has electrical problems, and at 100,000 km, rings and an “oil burner” appear.
Next, we highlight the domestic SUV UAZ Pickup and the “heavenly” sedan Geely Emgrand EC7. As the report shows, these machines lose from 15% to 30% in price in the three years after purchase. As for the Patriot, the body of the pickup is not as popular with us as in other countries, and speaking of reliability, even the new Ulyanovsk SUV often needs to be repaired. What kind of liquidity is there? Let’s not forget rust. For three years, she can literally “eat” the body iron right up to the mark.
Geely Emgrand EC7 has similar problems. At 100,000 km appears an “oil burner” and such that by 140,000 km the engine already needs a shot. Frequent breaks and suspension. And in general: a very noisy car with moderate handling. In the regions, however, it can often be found in a taxi. Like, in fact, and Lifan Solano. Apparently both cars live their lives as it is almost impossible to sell them, especially in a “tired” condition.
If we look at the premium segment, we pick out models that will easily lose up to 40% of their value within three years. Among them are Jaguar XJ and Cadillac CT6. “British” and “American” are rare cars. It is difficult to get spare parts and body parts on it, and now this problem is getting more and more serious. So we can assume that these sedans will “drop” faster and more in value. Do not forget about the powerful engines with which they are equipped. In other words, add tax and gas costs.
