OREANDA-NEWS. According to the monitoring of the analytical agency "AUTOSTAT", in the first half of July 2015 the prices of cars with mileage continued to fall.

For a month they were down by 8%, as compared to the beginning of the year the drop was already about 23%.

Recall that from November 2014 to January 2015 there was a significant jump in prices for used cars - for different segments plus 25-30% in average and some models up to 40-50%. It was due to the depreciation of the ruble and the desire of sellers to earn maximum profits. Since February, prices in the secondary market went down smoothly.

As the analysts of "AUTOSTAT" noted, now the price of cars with mileage are higher only by 5-10% than the levels of the last autumn. For example, the average bid price of the most popular foreign car Ford Focus at the age of three is currently 538 thousand rubles. In January, the sellers asked for it 20% more - 653 thousand rubles. Therewith, in the autumn of the last year, the three-year Ford Focus cost 480-490 thousand rubles in average.

A similar pattern is observed in the prices for all other mass models of cars. For a three-year Hyundai Solaris it is asked now 442 thousand rubles in average (-16% compared to January). A similar age Skoda Octavia is estimated at 598,000 (-23%), Volkswagen Passat - 884 thousand (-20%), and the Toyota Camry - 992 000 rubles (-22%).

According to the director of the agency "AUTOSTAT", Sergey Tselikov, during the next 1-2 months the price of cars with mileage will reach equilibrium and they will not continue to decline probably. At the same time the survey shows that the real transactions occur below the price by 10-15%, at which sellers want to sell their cars. According to Mr. Tselikov, it is good time to buy a used car with a maximum bidding and large discount from the initial price.
