The average age of a used car entering the market has increased by a year and ten months in six months, to 11 years and four months. about this Writes "Kommersant" .
As always, Moscow stands out for the better (used cars have risen in price by 6.4%, to 863.3 thousand rubles) and St. Petersburg (+2.8%, 721.1 thousand rubles). In the regions, cars are getting cheaper - for example, in the Volgograd region by 1.5%, and now a car can be bought there on average for 410.6 thousand rubles.
