He Used car market in Argentina It reached an unprecedented milestone during the first semester of 2025, marking the best performance since there are official records. The commercialization of units between individuals registered a record volumedriven by a more stable pricing environment and a growing offer.
According to data disseminated by the Chamber of Automotive Commerce (CCA), between January and June 918,404 used car transfers were carried out, representing a 24.2% jump compared to the same 2024 period of 2024. The volume exceeded the previous record and established a new maximum since in 1995 the statistics of the sector began to systematize.
June also left outstanding numbers in the used car market
The month of June contributed strongly to this historical result. In total, 143,191 units were sold, which meant an interannual increase of 15.6%. While this figure is slightly lower than May’s (when 154,830 transfers were reached), it is the best June of the last decade.
Alejandro Lamas, secretary of the CCA, He highlighted the magnitude of the sector’s performance: “We had never registered a first half of the year with such a high sales volume. It is a fact that makes a difference and confirms the good moment of the used market.” He also stressed that the month of June, despite a slight decline compared to the previous month, showed “a surprising solidity.”
The CCA report points to several elements that have collaborated with this progress: Stability in the exchange rate, greater variety of available models and an aggressive commercial policy by concessionaires and terminals. This combination of factors has created what the camera defined as “a virtuous circle” for the sector.
However, the agency also remarked that financed operations still represent a very low fraction of the total. The main cause is the high cost of financing, which is maintained above inflation projections.
Sale of used cars: strong dynamism in the interior of the country
An outstanding feature of the semester was the market growth in the provinces of Norte Argentino. Formosa led with a 58.4% increase in sales, followed by La Rioja (53.5%), Catamarca (51.9%), Chaco (51.1%) and Jujuy (49.8%). In contrast, Buenos Aires and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, that traditionally concentrate about half of the market, showed more moderate increases: 20% and 13.08% respectively.
“The prominence of the interior of the country is increasingly evident. It is a trend that is consolidated month by month,” he explained Lamas.
The best selling used car models in June 2025
As for the preferences of the public, the Volkswagen Gol (including its trend version) was once again the most chosen vehicle with 7,726 units transferred in June. He was followed by Toyota Hilux (5,842), Chevrolet Corsa/Classic (4,141), Ford Ranger (3,838) and VW Amarok (3,786). The ranking of the ten best selling was completed with Ford Ecosport, Toyota Corolla, Peugeot 208, Fiat Palio and Ford Ka.
The Chamber of Automotive Commerce It is optimistic about the remainder of the year. If the current trend is held, 2025 could close with near 1,800,000 operationsa figure comparable to the absolute record of 2013.
Despite the challenges, especially in terms of access to credit, the used car market is positioned as one of the most dynamic sectors within the national economy. The leadership of Volkswagen Gol and the rise of the interior of the country reinforces the diagnosis that the sector has managed to adapt and grow even in a challenging economic context.
