- Sales of used vehicles in China are expected to be approximately of 10 million units in 2013, against 8 million units in 2012 (according to figures from the Ministry of Commerce). This means that today in China a used vehicle is sold for two new vehicles sold, while in Europe or the United States, for example it is two used vehicles for one new vehicle.
- The Chinese market has really took off only a decade ago, creating a shortage of used models on the market, but sales of used cars are expected to grow in China, as the country will become a mature market.
- Currently, Audi has the largest distribution network of used cars in China. The manufacturer is well-established in the country for twenty years and models are highly sought after, given the premium brand positioning.
- Currently, in most major Chinese cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the volume of sales of used vehicles is already higher than the sales of new vehicles, mainly because of the registration allowances of new vehicles introduced in these cities.
