Domestic used-car sales generated R39.1-billion in the third quarter, this according to AutoTrader used-car sales data.

However, for the first time in three months, September used-car sales went into negative territory, falling to 31 636 units, down 9% month-on-month from the 34 725 units recorded in August.

The average used car price crept up marginally to R403 626 from the R403 203 recorded in August.

The total value of used cars sold in September totalled R12.7-billion, says AutoTrader.

While this figure reflects year-on-year growth of 10%, used-car enthusiasts could not match August’s sales of just more than R14-billion. 

AutoTrader says Toyota, VW and Ford remained the top selling used-car brands in September. 

Kia was the only brand on the top-ten list to achieve any month-on-month growth (at 8.7%), while Suzuki made a comeback to claim the last spot in the top ten, knocking Renault off the list.

In terms of model sales, the Ford Ranger bakkie hung on to its gold medal with 1 713 sales, while the Volkswagen Polo’s 1 441-unit sales wrestled the Toyota Hilux to second spot by 50 units.

The Volkswagen Polo Vivo, Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Wrangler, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3 Series, Kia Picanto and Ford EcoSport completed the list of top-ten models.

With the exception of the Jeep Wrangler and newcomer to the top-ten, the Kia Picanto, all models saw a dip in sales numbers.
