In recent months, buying a car is really not an easy task. And it’s not for nothing that new vehicle prices continue to rise, and delivery delays are still numerous. There are many reasons, and they relate, in particular, to the shortage of semiconductors. Still relevant, it slows down production and the cost of raw materials goes up. This obviously affects the final price that customers pay. Relieved the last one as well extended delivery times, the latter then turn to the used car market. But it’s not necessarily rosier either.

💪 Strong growth of the market of used electrified vehicles: + 46% in one year!

Better prices

Indeed, and while demand has increased significantly in recent months, prices have also skyrocketed. So much so that some used models have become unavailable to many motorists. The latter are forced to buy old cars with more mileage. But now, finally, things are starting to improve little by little over the months. The demand is really lower and the market is there a little less tense than at the beginning of the year. And this is reflected in the prices, which return to a more acceptable level.

Good news

Yes, a study conducted by Auto1 shows that the latter have been falling for several months. If this does not give an exact amount, it is based on an index of 100, which corresponds to the lowest average price ever recorded, which dates back to January 2015. Not surprisingly, this index has since stopped growing, but we have noticed that it is stabilizing and equalizing slightly decreased compared to last year. Very good news for shoppers who will finally be able to more easily find shoes that fit them without spending all of their savings on them.
