Now more and more buyers have turned their eyes to the used car market. After all, there is a real wealth of choice, but it’s almost gone in motor shows. Traditionally, our people pay attention to sedans because they are prestigious and practical. However, the AvtoVzglyad portal categorically advises against looking at some models, because they lose a lot in price. We decided to talk about such machines.
Based on a research by iSeeCars, we also studied advertisements on the most popular used car sales sites. Western analysts write that most cars lose just over 39% of their original value after three years of use. Experts from the analysis firm Russian Automotive Market Research agree. The experts say that in Russia C-class cars lose 31.8% of their original price in the first year of operation.
However, you should stay away from some sedans as the drop in their “capitalization” can be catastrophic. For example, Maserati Quattroporte will be 72.2% cheaper in 5 years! A similar situation is observed in the sedans of Bentley and Alfa-Romeo. But if the “British” is far from affordable for everyone, then a used “Alpha” can be bought already for 800,000 rubles. However, this is not worth it, as spare parts are expensive and it is not always possible to get them. And it is very difficult to sell the “Italian”, because only fans of the brand need it.
And the traditionally prestigious German premium provides surprises. Let’s say the Mercedes-Benz E-class sedan is 55% cheaper. You have to look at maintenance. At 90,000 km, the timing chain on the model is replaced, which is very expensive. And in case of wear, a serious repair to the engine is guaranteed. Therefore, there are not too many buyers for the model.
The representative of the Swedish premium – Volvo S60 – loses 53% in five years, which is also quite significant. The reasons for this state of affairs may be that the machine is technically complex and requires expensive maintenance.
The Jaguar XJ is doing slightly better. The loss of value is 43%. The reasons are the same as described above. So, with the current crisis, the shortage of spare parts and body parts will only worsen the situation of citizens who have spent their hard-earned money on a thoroughbred feral “cat”. So don’t follow their lead. If you do sell the Mercedes at a significant discount, there will be few hunters for the Jaguar.
Surprisingly, affordable B-class sedans were the most price stable, losing just 27.9%. These are the well-known Kia Rio and Hyundai Solaris. This is no cause for celebration, however, as the crisis is making its own adjustments. Now these models are starting to divest taxi companies and car-sharing companies. So it is very easy to buy a “killed” car. Therefore, it is better to pay attention to the technical condition of a particular body.
