Global used and classic car market trends

Overview

The automotive market is seeing increased interest in used and classic vehicles, driven by economic factors and technological advancements. Rising new car prices have boosted demand for second-hand models, which offer better accessibility and lower depreciation. Technological tools such as remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance software are extending vehicle lifespans, allowing well-maintained cars to reliably exceed 250,000 kilometers.

There is a notable trend in the valuation of classic cars, particularly those aged between 30 and 50 years. This appreciation is fueled by nostalgia among older demographics and a shift toward circular economy principles. Data indicates a dramatic rise in prices for high-performance and classic models over the last two decades; for example, certain Lancia models and BMW M3s have seen significant price surges compared to their 2005 values, while luxury models like the Ferrari F50 have seen values increase tenfold.
