The movement was sustained by demand: Fenabrave reported 865,746 transfers of used cars and light commercial vehicles during the period, indicating consistent liquidity for those buying and reselling.

Record Prices And Stock Turnover
PVU data shows that stores operated in March with an average gross margin close to 11% and turnover of around 39 days for used vehicles in general.
The price discrepancy between new and used models continued to direct consumers towards cars with lower depreciation.
The study points out that the attractiveness of used cars with up to three years of use depends on the combination of margin and liquidity.
Tiggo 5X Is The Most Profitable Used Car
In the segment of used cars (up to three years of use), the Caoa Chery Tiggo 5X took the lead in profitability in March.
The SUV recorded an average price of R$ 103,082, a gross margin of 10.7%, and turnover of 23 days.
In February, the model was already among the top positions in the ranking, reinforcing the continuity of its performance.
Toyota Dominates The Following Positions
Right behind, three models from Toyota made their presence felt at the top. The Yaris Hatch took second place with an average price of R$ 87,494, a margin of 11.3%, and turnover of 30 days.
Next, the Corolla appeared in the top 3 with an average price of R$ 134,165, a margin of 9.6%, and turnover of 27 days.
The fourth place went to the Corolla Cross, which recorded an average price of R$ 143,284, a margin of 9.6%, and 33 days of turnover.
The study also shows that, by category, medium sedans present a high return on investment, while SUVs maintain relevant liquidity.
Other Models In The Top 10
Other models also stood out.
- Fiat Argo presented a margin of 11.3%, an average price of R$ 66,551, and turnover of 41 days.
- Caoa Chery Tiggo 8 recorded an average price of R$ 145,130, a margin of 9.7%, and 35 days of turnover.
- Honda City Hatch had 11.6% margin, an average price of R$ 110,661, and 43 days of turnover.
- Renault Duster achieved 12.1% margin and an average price of R$ 92,771, but with 46 days of turnover.
- Hyundai HB20 had 12% margin, an average price of R$ 69,897, and 37 days of turnover.
- Fiat Cronos marked R$ 72,318, 9.4% margin, and 37 days of turnover.
How To Interpret The Used Car Ranking
The study organizes the list based on the return on investment (ROI), which considers the gross margin and the time in stock.
In practical terms, the higher the margin and the fewer days until the sale, the greater the monthly ROI tends to be.
Therefore, models like Tiggo 5X and Yaris Hatch appear in top positions: they combine relevant margins and turnover below 30 days.
There are differences even within the top 10. Some cars show margins above 10%, but with turnovers exceeding 40 days.
In others, the opposite occurs: quick turnover with lower margins, as seen in mid-sized sedans and SUVs.
For those buying to resell, the decision depends on balancing margin, speed of sale, and average ticket size, according to the stock profile.
Used Cars Gain Ground Over New Ones
With new model prices at a high level, the demand for recent used cars grows, which maintain updated equipment packages and less immediate depreciation.
The reflection appears in the sector: the average ticket of used cars rises, and turnover remains within healthy standards.
Brands with a reputation for after-sales and SUVs with greater commercial appeal remain among the most sought-after. In your opinion, which of these models is the easiest to resell these days?
