The used car market in Brazil remains active, and the figures from October 2024 are proof of that. According to data from the National Federation of Automobile Vehicle Resellers (Fenauto), in the last month alone, 1,072,159 vehicles were sold, including used cars and light commercial vehicles. This is a significant growth, with an increase of 17.5% compared to the same period last year and 8.3% compared to September.
The Growth Of Used Car Sales In 2024
So far, in 2024, used car sales in Brazil have already totaled 8,170,216 units. This number is significantly higher than that of new cars, which reached only 1,564,616 units between January and October, according to Fenabrave. This reflects an 80.8% difference between the categories and reinforces the preference for used models in Brazil.
But what explains this significant difference? Among the reasons are financial accessibility and the diversity of options in the used market, allowing consumers to find vehicles in good condition, with more competitive prices and already depreciated.
