Such pricing anomalies occurred due to the hryvnia devaluation. It would seem that new cars have become unaffordable in price, and the secondary market should revive, but that was not the case. Sellers of used cars are also setting new prices according to the new exchange rate. Because of this, completely inadequate offers can be found on the used car market.
The price of a car far from fresh can exceed the cost of a new one. This phenomenon can be observed everywhere.
This paradox is due to the fact that sellers of used cars set prices in dollars. Accordingly, if you build a logical chain, we see the following: a car cost $8 thousand a year ago (in hryvnias it corresponded to 64 thousand). The same amount is asked in dollars now. But today it is already 208 thousand hryvnias. And this is exactly what allows used cars to catch up in price with new cars.
But these are just flowers, there are also berries. Some used cars are valued by their sellers higher than new ones. One of the striking examples is Geely CK. At a dealer, a new car costs from 169,900 hryvnias, and on the market for a 2013 car with mileage they ask $7 thousand (182 thousand hryvnias). Moreover, the seller is not ready to bargain. These are the realities of today's market.
