According to the assessment of the agency "AUTOSTAT", in July 2024, residents of Russian Federation spent 620 billion rubles on the purchase of used passenger cars. Experts of the agency note that this figure is a record. Recall that before that the most money for the purchase of used cars was spent in March - 607 billion rubles. In April, the amount spent was slightly less (602 billion), and in May and June it was below the 600-billion mark.

And in July a new record was set. Azat Timerkhanov, head of the press service of AUTOSTAT agency, recalls that in July the maximum number of cars for the last 11 months was bought on the secondary market. "Simply put, bought a lot of cars - spent a lot of money", - explains the expert. If we compare the July result with that of a month earlier (562 billion rubles - in June 2024), it turns out to be 10% more. And in relation to the level of a year ago (531 billion - in July 2023), the growth is 17%. More than 90% of all the money spent on foreign used cars, which cost Russians 564.4 billion rubles.

And only about 10% are the costs of buying used domestic cars (55.6 billion rubles). If we consider the results of the first 7 months of this year, then during this period almost 3.8 trillion was spent on the purchase of used cars. And this is 18% more than the indicator of January-July 2023.
