The rise in prices does not give truce and the transfer of used cars it’s getting smaller and smaller. The results for the month of February showed a drop of 4,8%; a figure that is worrying but is far from the drop from 0 km.
According to the table of reference prices published month by month by the Automotive Chamber of Commerce (CCA), the most sought-after models on the replacement market rose between 12 and 40 percent.

If the comparison is with January, the decrease was 8.53% (116,135 units). While in the first two months they were sold 222,363 unitsa drop of 9.11% compared to 244,657 in 2023.
According to the CCA report, the province that suffered the greatest decline during this period was Formosa (26.26%), while the one that fell the least was Catamarca (1.36%).
The AMBA, for its part, which concentrates the largest number of operations, decreased by 12.68%.
“It is logical that in an economic context like the current one, where we are experiencing a transition of our total economy, where the prices of goods and services are adjusting upwards and salaries are not doing so at the pace we would like, sales will decrease. slow down,” said Alejandro Lamas, secretary of the Automotive Chamber of Commerce.
