Historic record: the used car market marked the best semester in 30 years

Used car dealerships closed the first half of 2025 with historic numbers. The sector had the best June of the last decade and a 24.21% year-over-year increase in the annual total.

According to the Automotive Trade Chamber (CCA), in June there were 143,191 transfers across the country.

This represents an increase of 15.59% compared to the same month in 2024, when 123,882 transactions were recorded.

When compared to May 2025 (154,830 units), June showed a decrease of 7.52%, but it remains one of the best months of the year.

First half with historic figures

Between January and June 2025, 918,404 used vehicles were sold, representing a 24.21% year-over-year growth.

According to Alejandro Lamas, CCA secretary, this is the best half-year since records began in 1995. "June was also surprising, with the best number in 10 years, although slightly lower than May," he stated.

Factors driving the sales boom

Lamas highlighted that price stability and exchange rate calm created a favorable environment for buying and selling.

In addition, there is a greater product supply and more aggressive commercial policies from manufacturers and importers. "That fuels the virtuous circle this segment is experiencing today," the executive concluded.
