In Russia, there is a growing interest in checking the history of premium used cars, especially models up to three years old. Demand for such checks has increased by 40% compared to last year, which is due to restrictions on the import of new cars from Europe.
The greatest interest in checks concerns German brands such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz, as well as the Japanese Lexus. Moscow, St. Petersburg and the Moscow region are leading in terms of the number of requests, which is associated with the high purchasing power of the population in these regions.
The main reason for the growing interest in used premium cars is the high cost of new cars and the availability of relatively new used cars, which retain good characteristics and are much cheaper than new ones. Buyers also pay attention to the ability to plan maintenance costs for European brands, unlike Chinese cars, which are difficult to repair without specialized services.
Buying used premium cars is also associated with an increase in the owner's status, as such cars offer higher comfort and modern technology than mass-market cars.
