Time to resell: why the love of cars from China has been living for three years

Half of the Chinese used car market is made up of "fresh" cars

Earlier, on July 7, Ilya Shilov, director of development at Forsage Lubricants, told Izvestia that the main reason for the decline in the cost of cars on the secondary market is the increased availability of new cars, especially Chinese ones. Fluctuations in the ruble exchange rate also played an important role, making imported models slightly more profitable. According to Shilov, the price decline will continue, but it will be gradual.

On July 1, Sergey Tselikov, director of Autostat, said that relatively new Chinese used cars were rapidly losing value. From January to June, such cars aged one to three years fell in price on the secondary market by an average of 10-15%.
