If you’ve been looking for a car, new or used, in recent months, you’ve seen this for yourself deep crisis which crosses the middle. Prices for new cars are rising, the same used cars are exploding… To the point that certain opportunities, recent or recent, are now being traded more expensive than a new onebut is steadily increasing, according to a study published in Le Parisien.

Second-hand prices increased by 20%

As Le Parisien writes, prices for second-hand items have risen increased by 20% in 18 months, In average. Impressive growth that also reflects the growth of new products that continue to rise in price. So how do you explain the fact that some cars are now exceeding their new selling prices, even with several thousand kilometers on the clock? The logic is simple: delivery times are now so long (sometimes more than a year) that some are ready pay more for immediate access to their car.

The logic of supply and demand, therefore. Demand for the highest output of Every crisis, while the supply of nine is at its lowest level in a decade, due in part to a shortage of semiconductors. So which used models are more expensive than new?

Cars that sell for more used than new

It is logical that this anomaly (today it is no longer the norm) is characteristic especially for popular but inexpensive new models. still according to the Parisianthe leading quartet stands out:

• Peugeot 208 (100 hp BVM / Allure): €23,220 new, up to €23,950 used
• Renault Clio (90 hp BVM / Intens): 21,750 euros new, up to 21,980 euros used
• Dacia Duster (diesel 115 hp BVM / Prestige): 21,600 euros new, up to 24,200 euros used
• Dacia Sandero Stepway (90 hp BVM / Comfort): €15,590 new, up to €20,400 used

The crisis is not over yet…

Other models, especially those popular among professionals (Toyota Auris, etc.), also in this case. But you’ll see, even if the used market is a little crazy these days, cars that are more expensive than new are the exception rather than the rule. On the other hand, the lull could still need a few monthsas the crisis is still modeled after the semiconductor crisis, which is not actually supposed to be resolved until 2024. A little patience…
