We’re guessing that you stumbled on this post because you’re considering selling your second-hand car online and wondering how the market has changed. Here’s an industry update: despite the long list of negatives that emanated from the pandemic, when it comes to the second-hand car market, the odds are actually stacked in the seller’s favour (at least for now).
Perhaps the recent fuel price increases have put your budget under pressure and you are wondering if there is anything more you can do to mitigate the upsurge in running costs. Selling your second-hand car and downsizing to a more fuel-efficient one is definitely the smart way of updating your budget!
We are here to not only help you reach a decision as we break down the facts but also help get you the best cash price if you do decide that now is the time to sell your second-hand vehicle.
COVID-19 and the second-hand car market
Simply put, there isn’t a better time to sell your second-hand car online than now! Here’s a simple breakdown of the pandemic’s domino effect:
- COVID-19 disrupted the automotive industry’s global supply chain.
- As a result, fewer new cars have been coming off the production line, which has pushed up the price of new vehicles.
- Coupled with economic hardship, which has led to a growing supply of second-hand cars, the demand for used vehicles has increased.
- Consequently, the second-hand car market is currently buoyant.
- Increased demand means a higher price that buyers are willing to pay for your vehicle.
Check out these smart tips that will help increase the value of your second-hand car.
Second-hand car market and you
The above unlocks the next crucial consideration: how to sell your second-hand car online? Whether you decide to sell privately or through dealers, we urge you to ‘stay woke!’

Or there are those who are well-practised in doing a number on you and scamming you. (You do not want to fall prey to these dodgy buyers).
