Having received the keys to a new car from the dealer, it is unlikely that many of us think that, just after leaving the gates of the car dealership, our purchase has already fallen in price. How much? And what will be the loss in price in three years? the site analyzed the bases for sales of used cars and made some calculations.
It is known that cars become cheaper most significantly in the first three years, that is, just in the average warranty period. This is especially felt in the first year of operation. As soon as the car leaves the dealership, it immediately depreciates by about 10%. During the year, the fall in value continues and amounts to another 10%. But all these are average figures, because the price reduction various models happens differently.
The process is influenced by the features of the brand, the reputation of the manufacturer, the popularity of the car. Equally important are factors such as model range and planned restyling, usually taking place in the middle of the model's life cycle.
There are exceptions, usually associated with a shortage of a particular model. There are cases when a one-year-old car was sold on the "secondary", either for the same money as a new one, or even a little more expensive. A recent example is the Mercedes CLA.
All quotas for 2013 were sold out in a few months. Latecomers had to either wait for new deliveries, or buy fresh "be-y" at the price of a new car. Similar situations, but on a larger scale, occurred with some Japanese models a few years ago.
Let's now see how the price of some popular cars various classes. To do this, we compare them average cost on secondary market(according to ads posted on the Internet during the month in Moscow and St. Petersburg) with the amounts for which these cars were bought three years ago. We did not take into account the price of broken cars - they, of course, would seriously distort the picture. It is also worth considering that the price of a car in the cabin and the purchase price usually differ, at least by the cost. additional equipment. But still, the picture is characteristic, even taking into account the errors.
Class B+ (small class)
Hyundai Solaris became in high demand immediately after entering the market in 2011. Then for the most popular configurations with the most powerful engine and "automatically" dealers asked for about 520,000 rubles. Now the average price of a three-year-old car is 460,000 rubles. That is, the reduction in price was about 12%.
Most running configurations nearest Solaris competitor Renault Logan three years ago they cost about 450,000 rubles for the version with manual transmission and about 500,000 rubles for the version with automatic transmission. Now the price of a three-year-old varies between 310,000 rubles with a “mechanics” and about 364,000 rubles with an “automatic”. It turns out that two-pedal sedans are getting cheaper more slowly than cars on the "handle". The former fall in price by an average of 23%, the decline in the cost of the latter reaches 31%.
About 20% in three years loses in price and the German competitor Solaris and Logan Volkswagen Polo sedan . The best-selling model of this brand in our market in 2011 sold at an average price of 570,000 rubles for the version with automatic transmission. Now you can buy one for an average of 450,000 rubles.
C+ class (golf class)
In the golf class, the leader has not changed for many years. Of course, this Ford Focus. The most common versions with a 1.6 engine (125 hp) equipped with new Trend three years ago cost around 630-650 thousand rubles, depending on the type of body and transmission. Comparing this with the prices on the "secondary", we get a loss in price of about 15% for options with an "automatic" and a little more (by a couple of percent) - for "mechanical" Focus.
Class D+ (middle class)
Ford also leads in the next senior class. It's about the old-timer of the segment - the model Mondeo. Most offers on the secondary market are sedans with 2.3 engines (161 hp) in rich equipment Titanium. And if new, in 2011, such a car cost about 950,000 rubles, now the average price is in the range of 720,000 rubles. Accordingly, the losses are about 25%. Losses of up to a third of the cost await the owner of the Mondeo model, equipped with a two-liter "four" and mechanical box.
Class E + (business class)
Model S80 from company Volvo consistently stays in the top five in its segment. The most popular version of the Swedish sedan with an "automatic" and a T5 turbo engine with a capacity of 245 hp. new three years ago cost about 1,500,000 rubles. For three years, a car loses about 35% in price - now these same cars are sold on average for 970,000 rubles.
Class F+ (representative class)
In the segment of large sedans at the end of last year bmw occupies an honorable second place. Most often lovers luxury cars opt for extended sedans in the version 750Li. Three years ago, buyers gave the dealer about 5,400,000 rubles for such cars. Given that now such sevens are sold for an average of 3,300,000 rubles, the price drop over three years is on average about 38%.
Now let's move on to crossovers and SUVs, the most dynamically developing segment, not only in our, but also in the global automotive market.
Crossovers and SUVs of B+ class
The most popular model in the class is Renault Duster . Most three-year-old Dusters are sold with a 1.6 engine (102 hp), manual, all-wheel drive and Privilege trim. average price- 550,000 rubles. Comparing this to the cost of a new car three years ago, we get an average price drop of 10%.
Crossovers and SUVs of C+ class
Korean answer Nissan Qashqai– model Kia Sportage – consistently stays in the top three segment leaders. The crossover is reluctantly getting cheaper - about 18% over a three-year period for the most running version with 2.0 engine (150 hp) and Luxe equipment, originally standing three years ago in the cabin a little over a million rubles.
Crossovers and SUVs class D +
In the segment of larger and more prestigious models, the leader is traditionally Toyota Land cruiser. The most common option in the secondary market is the 3.0d AT (163 hp). Now a three-year-old SUV is estimated at an average of 1,900,000 rubles. If we take into account that in 2011 such cars were in showrooms with a price tag of about 2,500,000 rubles, then the markdown is approximately 24%.
E+ crossovers and SUVs
And again Toyota. We are talking about the favorite of the wealthy public not only in the capitals, but also in the northern regions of the country - the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser 200. In 2011, such cars cost more than 3,100,000 rubles new. Given that now the price of a three-year-old Kruzak fluctuates around 2,300,000 rubles, we get a price loss of about 26%.
What is the result? As you can see, models of different classes get cheaper in different ways, but the general trends are as follows:
Inexpensive cars are getting cheaper more slowly than prestigious ones;
How more popular model, the less loss in value;
Initially, more economical versions with "mechanics" lose in price more than their counterparts with "automatic".
The consequence of this: when choosing inexpensive model Still, it is worth paying attention to new cars. Does it make sense to buy a used car even with a proven "biography" if the exact same brand new one costs only 15-20% more?
But if you plan to buy a car more high class, especially from the premium segment, you should carefully review the offers of the secondary market. Given the significant drop in cost, there is every chance to pick up a good option with a big discount.
On the other hand, it is always necessary to take into account the current (and not three years ago) cost of the car. After all available models rise in price more actively expensive. And getting a discount on the latter is usually much easier.
Buying a car is always a significant event in the life of every car enthusiast. Of course, today not many buyers think about the further sale of a car, guided only by external data, engine size, capacity, price and other criteria. However, this is very important nuance, especially if after 3-5 years you do not want to lose almost half of the cost of the car. The main criteria for keeping the price unchanged can be considered: the prestige of the car, the minimum engine size, the larger the volume, the more disadvantageous the car in terms of investing money, the type of gearbox, and so on.
As practice shows, the more expensive and prestigious the car is, the faster it loses its value when re-selling, the secondary market does not overpay for a promoted brand. According to authoritative experts, a rating of cars was compiled, during the sale of which car owners lose the least in value. It is in them that they are advised to invest cash, but in the list of the most unprofitable car brands were Renault Laguna as well as Jaguar and Cadilac, despite their excellent performance.
After conducting a series of research calculations, the experts of the Avtostat car agency in Togliatti came to the conclusion that cars with a high price will be the most unprofitable in terms of capital investment, which means that the more money you can lose on resale. So cars worth no more than 400,000 rubles. after three years, they lose up to 30% of the original cost.
If you make a purchase of a car, initially planning a quick resale, then this option is not the most successful and profitable. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on more expensive vehicles, but not too prestigious. So if the initial price of a car ranges from 400 thousand rubles. up to 600,000, then it will fall in price after three years by almost 26% and this is the most favorable option, further statistics are not comforting, the higher the cost of a car, the higher the rate of its reduction in price. This is especially true for cars worth more than 1.5 million rubles and 2 million. ruble, after three years they will fall in price by 28.5% and 29%, respectively.
According to statistics, almost 32% will be lost during resale by owners of cars with an initial cost of more than 3 million rubles. rub., their percentage of losses will be 32. Experts came to this conclusion after analyzing the dynamics of prices for cars with different price gradations over the past three years. According to the authoritative opinion of experts, the most unprofitable in terms of repeat sales is Renault car Laguna. So in just three years from the date of purchase, on sale, the car owner will lose almost half of the original cost, namely almost 45%.
The sad list includes Jaguar and Cadilac, these cars will also depreciate by 43% and 41%, respectively, and also lose a lot of their resale value. Zaz Chance, losses reach up to 42% of the original cost. The ranking included the most popular brands cars, they also steadily lose up to 40% of the original cost after three years. These are cars of brands: BMW, Land Rover, Volvo and Audi. Considering all this, cars of average cost from 400 thousand rubles to 800 thousand rubles are considered the best option for investing money.
The experts also compiled an alternative rating of cars, whose price falls the least in three years. Car tops the list Renault brand Sandero, so for three years the loss will be only 15%. In second place is another brand of car, also produced in the Russian Federation, namely Hyundai Solaris, this model has been losing almost 16% since the purchase, the bronze medalist Hyundai Santa Fe loses the same amount. If you want to save money as much as possible and enjoy a beautiful car, then these brands should be preferred.
Such a low loss from the initial cost can be explained not only by the high quality of cars and high popularity, but also by the underestimated initial cost by the manufacturer. According to experts, the list of cars that lose the least from starting price, when reselling three years later, such brands as Volkswagen, Toyota, Nissan, Renault and KIA got, only two of the domestic brands got there: Niva and UAZ Patriot, they become cheaper by an average of 25% in three years.
Of course, the percentage of car prices is not always clear, especially for people who have no idea about the cost. various brands car, so there is a logical dissonance between the real difference in price expressed in rubles and percentage. For example, if a car costs 200 thousand rubles, then 40% of its cost will be only 80 thousand rubles, but if the same percentage is calculated for a car worth 2 million rubles. rub. then the losses will already reach 800 thousand rubles, and this is already a significant loss.
The conclusion is simple than more expensive than a car the less liquid it is. However, even among expensive car models there are brands that do not lose in price after not only three years, but also five years. These can be safely attributed to Toyota Land Cruiser Prado or Lexus. Owners of these brands can always count on having little to no loss in selling.
In our country, motorists do not pay great attention vehicle liquidity. When buying, they look more at the engine size and quality characteristics, but abroad this factor is given priority. For example, in the countries of America or Europe, when buying a car, the buyer enters into an agreement with dealer company, where a specific amount for the trade is written. In this way, car owners protect themselves from financial losses.
”analyzed the cost of three-year-old cars, divided them into classes and ... And very interesting data turned out.
At first glance, the numbers may seem surprising - well, it cannot be that Volkswagen Golf three years of operation almost lost in price! However, these are the features of such studies - experts compare the prices of cars three years ago (in our case, the end of 2012) and those currently sold on the secondary market. We all know that since then the cost of a car has grown, both in the primary and secondary markets. So we see that "Golf" for three years "on paper" has lost only 8% of its original price - in 2012 Golf 1.6 on the "mechanics" cost 603 thousand rubles, and now it is being sold for 555 thousand.
But experts, recognizing the strangeness of these figures, assure that they should be guided by if we want to understand which model is getting cheaper quickly, and which residual value is higher. After all, some manufacturers during the crisis artificially restrain prices, while others are no longer doing this. In addition, many cars have time to upgrade in three years, some have moved to another class. And more. And that's just last year!
Cheap and small
It turned out that in the “small” segment the least of all becomes cheaper over the years Kia Rio, Renault Sandero, Skoda Fabia, Suzuki Splash and Citroen C1. At the same time, several interesting features- according to the study, Hyundai Solaris loses in price a little more than the Rio platform (residual value of 74.3% versus 80.6%). And the Volkswagen Polo competing with them already has a figure of 72.3%. But in this case this difference can be explained by the fact that the Polo is initially a more expensive car. Yes, and the Solaris participating in the study had a complete set with a 1.6 liter engine and automatic transmission gears, and Rio was with a 1.4 liter engine. In 2012 Rio 1.4 cost an average of 530 thousand, and now they are asking for 427 thousand on the secondary market (Hyundai Solaris 1.6 in 2012 was sold on average for 578 thousand, and now the price of a three-year-old car is 429,210 rubles).
The situation is similar with the "brothers" Citroen C1 and Peugeot 107. The first was sold more often in a simpler configuration and cost 436 thousand rubles in 2012. And the "average" Peugeot 107 - 477 thousand. The difference between the models was 41 thousand ... And now in the secondary market, both cost almost the same - 328-337 thousand.
Hence the conclusion - if you want to lose as little money as possible, buy a car in a simple version. Over the years, the presence of xenon, "skin", navigation and other things no longer have such an impact on the price, as is the case with new cars.
Well, on the list of the worst in this segment is Daewoo Matiz, Mazda 2 and three "French": Peugeot 207, Renault Symbol and Renault Clio.
In the so-called “golf class” or segment “C”, the leader is ... “Golf”. Also on the leaderboard: Toyota Corolla, Volkswagen Jetta, Skoda Octavia and Toyota Auris.
Well, Chevrolet Cruze, Peugeot 308, Chevrolet Lacetti and Daewoo Nexia are at the end of the list. Apparently Russian buyers do not believe that Nexia after three years of operation can be considered a reliable car.
Big and expensive
The more expensive the cars, the more they lose in value. So, Volkswagen Passat - the best among the so-called "middle" class - after three years retains only 70% of its original price (and this is considering that prices have risen - compared to the cost of new ones, the loss is much greater), and average level in this segment - 65%. And, say, the owners of a large Hyundai Genesis they can get only 42.5% of the cost of a new car at all (although, say, a large Toyota Camry is a very popular product in the secondary market, 78.7%). Difficult and few owners of Citroen C6.
Crossovers and SUVs
Among compact crossovers, Renault Duster loses the least in price - this is largely due to the fact that it was much cheaper than other competitors. Also in the group of leaders are Nissan Juke and Qashqai (moreover, the seven-seater version of Qashqai +2 loses a little less), Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5, Mitsubishi ASX, Kia Sportage and Volkswagen Tiguan. Well, the Skoda Yeti loses the most.
As you know, a new car depreciates by about 10% immediately, as soon as it leaves the dealership, and continues to get cheaper with every kilometer traveled. At the same time, the rate of depreciation of the car largely depends on the dynamics of prices in the new car market. According to the CEO of GiPA Russia marketing agency Alexander Gruzdev, usually the most big loss occurs in the first year of owning a car, which is explained precisely by the loss of the “new car” status. Over the next few years, the cost declines slowly, but after the end of the warranty, the car can fall sharply in price. An important role is played by the presentation of the car, as well as the number of accidents in which it has been and the degree of damage received in them.
“With age, any car becomes cheaper, but each car loses its price in different ways,” says Alexander Gruzdev. “Many different factors play a role here, including the image of the brand in terms of the reliability of its cars, the class to which the car belongs, its popularity in the market, the cost of maintenance and much more.”
According to a recent PwC study, B-class cars and compact crossovers are depreciating slower cars other classes - an average of less than 25% over three years. And three-year-old business class cars depreciate the most and full size SUVs over 3 million rubles - by 38% and 47% respectively.
“Traditionally, the more expensive and higher the class of a car, the lower its residual value, but there are exceptions to all rules,” says Denis Eremenko, director of PodborAvto. - For example, many Toyota models, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, even at the age of three years, can be sold almost at their original price, due to the great popularity in the secondary market and the constant increase in prices for new cars of these models. If new cars of some running models are not available from dealers, then a similar one-year-old car can cost almost like new, adds Aleksey Barinov, director of the Blue Fish used car sales division of Rolf Group.
Profitable capital investment
Analysts of "AUTOSTAT" made a rating of the most liquid models in the automobile market of our country. Comparing the cost of a new car in 2011 and the price when it was sold at the end of last year, the experts calculated the indices residual value models of more than 40 brands cars presented in various segments of the Russian car market.

In the segment of subcompact cars, it loses the least in Chevrolet price Spark - for three years of operation, this model retains 79.2% of the original cost. Among the B-class cars, the best indicator for Renault hatchback Sandero - 90.9%. In the golf class, the leader in terms of residual value is Toyota Corolla (82.9%), and in the business class car market - Volkswagen Passat (82,3%).
“The main factor that determines the residual value of a car is the quality of the product. Exactly quality car, which meets the requirements of increased safety and comfort, enjoys the trust of the client, - the Volkswagen press service notes. “In addition, the model’s liquidity is affected by the manufacturability of the product, as well as the variety of options offered, allowing each client to easily find the right option.”
It is curious that the highest percentage of the original cost is retained by foreign cars localized in Russia - Renault Sandero, Volkswagen Polo sedan and Hyundai Solaris. The high liquidity of its Sandero hatchback in Renault, in particular, is explained by the adaptation of the model to climatic and road conditions operation in Russia, the reliability and durability of the car, known for its heavy-duty suspension and high ground clearance, as well as the availability of spare parts and maintenance.
As for crossovers and SUVs, which are now the most popular among Russians, the leader among compact SUVs is domestic Lada 4x4 - At three years old, this model retains 85.2% of its original price on resale. Kia Sportage (79.7%) was recognized as the most liquid C-class crossover, among models mid-size SUVs is in the lead Toyota Highlander(83.9%), and in the E-SUV segment - Volkswagen Touareg (81,4%).
“The high liquidity of Lada 4x4 is due to the lack of competition not only in the primary, but also in the secondary market (Chevrolet Niva is more expensive, and UAZ is a car of a slightly different class), relatively low production volume, good maintainability and survivability of the design,” the press commented. AvtoVAZ center. - In addition, it is necessary to take into account the classical Lada style 4x4 - the design loved by millions is carefully preserved by AVTOVAZ, thanks to which new and used cars do not have cardinal differences in appearance, although some details are periodically updated (mirrors, lighting, interior trim, rims).”
It is worth noting that in the overall standings among the mass brands, Toyota became the leader of the rating, whose Corolla, Hilux and Highlander models are recognized as the best in terms of maintaining residual value in their segments. “Toyota vehicles maintain a higher residual value due to a high reputation Toyota brand as a manufacturer of reliable cars. Due to such consumer properties as quality, reliability and durability, for a customer, a used Toyota practically does not differ from a new car. This trend is reflected in the high residual value Toyota cars in the secondary market, which is confirmed by the study of "Avtostat", - state the press service of "Toyota Motor".
Premium class at an affordable price
In the premium car market, the Audi A4 (70.7%), BMW 5 Series (73.8%) and Lexus LS (70.2%) were the best in terms of residual value preservation in their segments. It has long been noticed that cars of a higher class lose in price faster than less expensive and prestigious cars.
“The residual value index of a car is determined more by the purchasing power of the market. Also of great importance is the fact that many premium segment models are sold with a high share of the cost of options in the total cost of a new car, while the calculation of the residual value coefficient is often carried out in relation to the cost of the model, either without options or with a small share of them in the price. car,” commented the press service of Audi, which, by the way, became the winner in the overall standings for the preservation of residual value among premium brands.
Among premium SUVs Range Rover Evoque (82.0%), Audi Q5 (79.8%) and Porsche Cayenne(75.3%). Incidentally, the company Jaguar Land Rover at the end of last year conducted its own study on the residual value of cars, in which analysts, in particular, traced how the price changes every year. Jaguar models and Land Rover under the age of three. For example, the same Range Rover Evoque has a high residual value in the first year (89.14%), minimal decline in the second (81.93%) and the almost complete absence of a fall in the third (79.05%). The exception to the rule was new Range Rover Sport, which shows not a decrease, but an increase in the residual value in the second year - from 88.85 to 89.32%. The experts explain it big amount"premier" cars in the secondary market, which, in turn, undermines the price of cars of the previous generation. But the completion of sales of the Defender SUV, as expected by the company, can significantly increase the residual value of this model in Russia.

Loss of value for a 3 year old car
Today, a car is no longer a luxury item or an attribute of high prosperity, but rather serves as a means of transportation. The availability of a personal vehicle to citizens is also confirmed by statistics stating that every third person has his own car.
Moving by car makes us more free, allows us to save time and feel comfortable away from home. Every motorist, buying a new vehicle, involuntarily lays in his head that after a while, he will have to part with " true friend". While the car for several years of operation, can decently lose in market value.
Experts assure us that as soon as the car left the gates of the car dealership, he immediately cheaper by 10-15 percent, and some premium models up to 30. Considering this fact, it will not be superfluous to consider the purchase of a car as some kind of investment and investment, having previously studied pricing and demand in the secondary car market. Which cars lose little in price Consider a list of the most liquid cars with mileage, at the age of three years, which to this day remain stable in price.
1. Kia Picanto is a subcompact subcompact hatchback designed exclusively for urban movement. Equipped with a choice of two petrol engines of 1.0 and 1.25 liters, in combination with two 4-speed transmissions. Automatic transmission and 5 tbsp. mechanics.
The assembly of cars is carried out only in Korea, which is greatly appreciated during resale and gives a certain bonus among competitors.
For three years year Kia Picanto cheaper by 19.1% of the original cost, which is the leader in the "A" class
2. Lada Granta - domestic budget car front-wheel drive, based on Lada Kalina, available in sedan and liftback bodies. Popularity on the Grant is reinforced by good reliability, time-honored components and assemblies, low-cost service and low cost of spare parts.
The choice of configurations and layouts is quite extensive for the economy segment. The buyer is offered 4 engines with a volume of 1.6 liters (with a capacity of 82,87,98,106 hp) and three transmissions, 5-speed. Manual transmission, 4-st. Automatic transmission and a new robotic 5-speed gearbox.
Lada Granta becomes cheaper, after the specified time, by 16.82% of the base price.
In class "B" domestic car, overtakes even the French Renault Sandero and the Korean Hyundai Solaris, which are in no way inferior in terms of sales.
3. Volkswagen Golf- the obvious leader among the representatives of the middle "C" class. After all, it’s not for nothing that the traditional German hatchback of the 7th generation is considered the best-selling in the world. The car is presented in three basic trim levels. In the base, options such as power side mirrors, a 5-inch display in the center console, central locking, air conditioning, electric power steering, etc. are already included. power plants, consists of 7 gasoline turbo engines and 4 diesels.
An important indicator for the Volkswagen Golf is the fact that cars sold in Russia are only made in Germany. So there should be no complaints about the build quality.
Loses in price, 3-year-old golf about 15.28%
4. Toyota Camry - japanese sedan premium class, which has been produced for more than 35 years and has undergone 7 body variations. Among cars of this level, the Toyota Camry has been the undisputed leader for several years, replacing such cars as the Mazda 6 and Volkswagen Passat CC. Camry is produced at 5 factories in the world, namely in Japan, China, Australia, Russia and the USA.
Reliability and durability, to a certain extent, is the manufacturer's forte. The car turned out to be strict and concise, all the shortcomings are well worked out at the development stage, and the number of cases of marriage and complaints is practically absent. In Europe, surprisingly, Camry is not popular, and sales have been officially discontinued since 2004, while in Russia the situation is inversely proportional.
The fall from the initial price is about 17.7%
5. Renault Duster - compact crossover economy segment, replacing the Chevrolet Niva and Suzuki Jimny. It is noteworthy that the Frenchman was made on the same base as the Nissan Juke, and his twin brother was new Terrano. But alas, he did not receive such popularity and the price for it is higher by 100-150 thousand rubles. Simplicity, reliability, unpretentiousness - that's what Duster fell in love with in Russia, of course, there is no need to talk about high comfort and perfect handling.
In 2013, Renault Duster won the Car of the Year award in the Russian Federation, and in 2017 there was a small facelift of the model, as a result of which its appearance underwent some changes. It is worth noting that the crossover suspension has big moves, and the clearance is 21 cm, such a “small jeep” should not have many competitors.
Duster (in translation - anther) depreciates by 16.5% of the manufacturer's price
6. Kia Sportage is a confident leader among the crossover class. The car is available in all-wheel drive, as well as 4x2. Height ground clearance 18.2 cm, which is not much more than an ordinary "passenger car". Sportage is a pronounced urban SUV, and its vocation is small bumps and road curbs.
Its suspension is elastic, and steering clear, the behavior on the track is more like a hatchback. The weak points of Kia Sportage are considered to be steering rack and anti-roll bars.
Cheaper by an average of 18.6% of the factory price
7. Volkswagen Taureg- a large German crossover that has a common base with the Porsche Caen. They are produced at a plant in Bratislava (Slovakia) and in Kaluga (Russia). 4 compressor gasoline engines and 3 turbodiesels are available in the engine line. As a transmission, only one automatic torque converter with 8 gears is available.
IN standard Volkswagen Toureg, has a spring independent suspension and a ground clearance of 200 mm, and in the top ones, it can be increased to 300 mm through the use of air suspension. Close competitors in the class include the Audi Q7, BMW X6 and Infiniti FX.

8. Toyota Land Cruiser 200- the largest frame SUV, produced since 1951 in Japan. Consider a purchase this car, it is possible from the point of view profitable investment funds, because its popularity has no limit. In Russia, sales of jeeps of the Lend Cruiser family are much higher than in other countries of the world. The design was based on a suspension with a non-split frame axle at the rear and a front independent “multi-link”, the transmission includes the usual hydraulic automatic transmission with 5 and 6 speeds.
Apparently, the main slogan of Toyota engineers is “everything ingenious is simple!”, But at the same time, quality and car resource remains to this day highest level. So it is not uncommon for cars to be used in law enforcement agencies and departments, where they run 500-600 thousand kilometers without serious breakdowns.
It is not surprising, but the Kruzak loses only 17% in price in 3 years.
A little about pricing for used cars
If in the case of setting prices for a new car, the manufacturer takes into account a number of factors spent on its production, including costs, then for used cars, prices are determined by the market, depending on the solvency of the population.
So it is not uncommon for a car that is not popular in terms of external parameters to be sold for six months or more, and to no avail. And its owner will accordingly discount the price below the market price. In the meantime, as for example, the popular Hyundai Solaris will fly like "pies".
