Used car sales grew 13% in January

“We start a new year with renewed hopes, we have to leave behind a 2022 full of complications, a strange year in which, as rarely as ever, the sales of new cars and used vehicles were on different diagonals…”, explained Alejandro Lamas , CEC Secretary.

Lamas also said that “January gives us a clue that perhaps this 2023 could have a little more logic in terms of the sale of used cars, this means: more sales of 0 km, more sales of used cars, a parallelism that It’s very hard to break.”

In January, the ranking of the best-selling used cars included the VW Gol and Trend (8,301 units), followed by the Chevrolet Corsa and Classic (4,636); Toyota Hilux (3,981); Renault Clio: (3,403); Ford Fiesta (3,133); Fiat Palio (2,938); Ford EcoSport (2,919) and Ford Focus (2,757).

In consecutive months there is also a rise of 20% since in the month of December 29,535 units had been registered.

The analysis of the data reflects that the brand that finished as the leader in the used market was Honda, with 31% of the operations, more than doubling Yamaha with 13%, which far exceeds Zanella, which reached 9% of the total. . The top five was completed without any great news, with Motomel tying the third position also with 9%, Corven, in fourth place with 6% and the fifth step is also very disputed since there is a triple tie between Bajaj, Guerrero and Gilera, with 5% of the operations.
