Lamas also said that “January gives us a hint that perhaps this 2023 could have a little more logic in terms of the sale of used cars, this means: more sales of 0 km, more sales of used cars, a parallelism that is very hard to break.”
In January, the ranking of the best-selling used cars included the VW Gol and Trend (8,301 units), followed by the Chevrolet Corsa and Classic (4,636); Toyota Hilux (3,981); Renault Clio: (3,403); Ford Fiesta (3,133); Fiat Palio (2,938); Ford EcoSport (2,919) and Ford Focus (2,757).
