The second-hand automobile and light commercial vehicle market in Turkey showed remarkable activity in February. Fiat, the most preferred brand last year, is no longer at the top. So who was the best-selling second-hand car brand?
The best-selling second-hand car brand has been announced!
According to the Indicata report compiled by AA, the best-selling second-hand car brand was Volkswagen. A total of 363 thousand corporate advertisements were published on online platforms in February, and 170 thousand 457 of them were converted into sales.
Thus, Fiat, which had been the leader for a long time, left the top spot to Volkswagen. During this period, Fiat Egea in the passenger car category and Ford Tourneo Courier in the light commercial category were among the most preferred ones. These figures show that there was a 4 percent increase in advertisements and a 35 percent increase in sales compared to the same period last year. Therefore, we can say that the second-hand vehicle market is growing in Turkey.
Is there a togg? Candidates for the Car of the Year award in Turkey have been announced!
This year’s candidates for the Car of the Year in Turkey award, which was won by the Nissan X-Trail model last year, were recently announced.
When we look generally, Volkswagen took the first place among the 10 best-selling brands in the second-hand online market in February with sales of 21 thousand 857 units. Volkswagen was followed by Renault, Fiat, Ford and BMW, respectively. These 10 brands took over a large share of the market, accounting for 75.7 percent of total sales.
