by December set a record for the number of used cars imported from abroad. In just one, the last month of 2018, 22 thousand used foreign cars were brought into Ukraine! According to AUTO-Consulting, such a quantity of imported “second-hand” cars on wheels had not been brought into our country in any month of this millennium…
Interestingly, experts predict even more impressive numbers by the end of January. If at the moment the used car market is 3 times greater than the new car market, then in January 2019 this figure is likely to be 4-5 times.
We think so, but at the moment these are only assumptions. And one should not forget about February, when on the 22nd the benefits for “euro plates” expire, which will definitely further stimulate the used car market.
