AAA Auto’s data for the peak period this year also showed that the average price for used cars sold in Hungary across its branches was HUF 1,640,000, versus HUF 2,150,000 on average for the same period across the entire group. The peak period also saw an increase in demand for heated seats, with 71% more Hungarian customers wanting this option in 2016 versus 2015.
“The European used car market has two peaks – spring and autumn. The autumn peak is caused by customers looking to buy a new car after the holidays and before winter. In Hungary this peak comes in September and October, but sales tend to remain stronger afterwards in Hungary than they do in other AAA Auto markets,” said Karolína Topolová, CEO of AAA Auto International.
