Among the cars that the owner wants to sell without traveling on a new car and the year are allocated seven models. It is these models that Americans for one reason or another do not like and try to get rid of them quickly.

The iSeecars.com car site analyzed 5 million cars sold from September 2013 to March 2014, and checked the same car owners a year later. So the seven brands of cars were determined, from which car owners quickly got rid of, although on the speedometer there were from 10 to 15 thousand miles passed.

Seven cars, on whom the Americans do not like to ride:

1. Nissan Frontier.

6.9% of Nissan Frontier pickups were oversold by their original owners only a year after purchase. This is 2.6 times higher than the average figure - 2.7%. Price in the USA - $ 23425.

2. Chevrolet Cruze

Chevy Cruze Statistics are slightly worse. These cars are sold one year after the purchase of 7.2% of the owners. Price - 18345 dollars.

3. MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS


The first shock of the list. 7.4%, i.e. Each fourteenth C-Class machine was oversold after the purchase. Price - $ 36000.

4. Dodge Charger


This model has a return percentage a year after the purchase is 7.7%. Price - $ 27900.

5. BMW X1.

7.8% of the owners of this crossover got rid of them after a year after the purchase. Price - $ 31850.

6. Chevrolet Sonic

The second car in the list of the most unpopular machines made by GM. The percentage of return in a year is 8.9%. Price - 14995 dollars.

7. Buick Regal

GM machines enjoy special dislike for Americans. 10.7% of motorists who bought Regal, i.e. Almost every ninth man sold them by trading just a year. Price - $ 30615.

It is curious to look at the same statistics in Russia. Naturally, the tastes and addictions from our and American car enthusiasts do not coincide. Moreover, we can boldly say that in a number of positions they may even differ diametrically.

For example, three machines from the most unpopular seven in America are quite popular in Russia.

We are talking about Chevrolet Cruze, MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS And BMW X1, which Russian motorists are not only actively buying, but for a long time they go to them.

For example, sales of Chevrolet Cruze Russia in third place in the world. As of August 2014, 195 thousand Cruze cars were sold in our country.

As for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the sales of this car in Russia despite the crisis in January of this year even increased by 16% compared with January last year.

Russians and BMW X1 are popular. True, in the current difficult times, sales fall, but if our car enthusiasts buy them, they go to them for a long time. It is not by chance that, probably, no foreign car has so many diminutive names and nicknames: "Beha", "Boomer", "Bama" - only a few of them.

It should be noted that most Russians exhibit a car for sale to achieve 6-8 years of age.

Such conclusions were made by the specialists of the AVITO car ads after analyzing the offers for the sale of used cars exhibited in October 2014. Most ads are proposals from machine owners produced in 2006-2008. This situation is observed in the absolute majority of Russian regions.

The average age of exploited LADA models is 13.8 years old, UAZ - 15.4 years, gas - 15.7 years. The most interesting thing is that many foreign brands are no better statistics, because with secondary market Europe also got a lot of older to Russia. Therefore, the middle age audi models We have 16.1 years old. Mercedes and BMW this figure is 13.2 years old, Volkswagen - 13.1 years old, at Toyota - 12.5 years old, Opel has 12 years.

In 2018, more than 5 million cars were sold on the territory of the United States. Active sales growth continues in 2020. We identified the most popular cars in the United States - those that received the most enthusiastic responses from their owners.

Rating of the most demanded cars in the USA

Interestingly, the leadership positions are occupied by Chevrolet, Ford and Ram pickups. For our market, maybe it is pretty "wilderly", however, the Americans do not think so.

When it comes to the battle for superiority, we are talking about Ford, Chevy and RAM, which are also three most popular machines in the United States. Ford remains on top of the rating thanks to constant innovation, which make it easier to work, increasing luxury and comfort.
