The regions of the Russian Federation for the most profitable car resale are named

The maximum return on buying a car in one region of Russia for resale in another is 29%. Experts from Avto told Izvestia about this on June 11.<url> Business", which compared data on the average cost of cars offered for sale by individuals, in comparison with the average selling price from dealers in various regions of the country.

One of the most profitable offers for purchase from private dealers in April 2025 was a Toyota Camry from the Northwestern Federal District for sale in the Siberian and North Caucasus Federal Districts. In this case, the profit can reach a maximum of 29%. Another profitable option would be to purchase Lada Granta in the Volga Federal District for sale in the North Caucasus Federal District, potentially yielding 28%.

At the same time, if we consider the Central Federal District, the potential profit from the sale of Lada Granta and Lada Xray purchased in the Volga Federal District may amount to 10% and 7%, respectively. And Hyundai Solaris from the North-Western Federal District can be sold in the central regions with a profit of 5%.

Analysts noted that in August last year, European mid-range and premium models were mainly in the top of the most marginal cars, and the profitability of buying a car in one region and selling it in another could reach 39%. At the same time, Russian and Chinese models appear in the data set for April 2025, the premium segment is practically absent, and the maximum yield is 29%. Such changes are directly related to the overall market situation.

"Since borrowed funds have become much more expensive, dealers rely on turnover when selling. That is, on models that will sell faster. Also, in general, it has become more difficult to find European cars in good condition. Such options, of course, can still be found on the Russian market, but now their number is much smaller: if earlier their number was measured in dozens within the macroregion, now they are units, and they are not included in the top 3 models by district," explained the director of development and sales of <url> Alyona Inozemtseva.
