Used cars are currently more expensive than ever, according to public broadcaster AvroTros. This is confirmed by Autoscout24, an online marketplace that offers more than 1.8 million used cars every day. The data shows that the average price of a used car is now around €24,428, an increase of more than 20% compared to last year. Bad news if you’re planning to buy a used car. But there’s a solution: switch to financial leasing and take advantage of the tax benefits!
Shortage of used cars: demand outstrips supply
The sharp rise in used car prices can largely be attributed to a limited supply combined with increasing demand. This has led to higher procurement costs for dealers. Many dealers are struggling to find cars to sell and are not selling as many new cars as they used to. There are also long waiting times and supply chain issues which have further impacted on the availability of used cars. In short, now is not the best time to buy a used car.
Why switch to financial lease?
Buying a car is often a wise investment, but no one wants to pay a premium for a used car. Rising prices are pushing consumers towards used cars, creating an imbalance between supply and demand. The result? A shortage that drives prices even higher. Fortunately, leasing a (used) car is now an accessible alternative that offers many benefits. Financial leasing allows both individuals and companies to ‘rent’ a car for a fixed monthly fee, without the need for a large upfront investment. Even better, at the end of the lease period, the car is fully yours. It’s cost-effective and convenient!
