According to the Chamber of Automotive Trade (CCA), used car sales rose nearly 12% in the first ten months of the year compared to the same period in 2024. In October, 166,285 used vehicles were sold, a 3.10% decrease from the same month in 2024 (171,606 units). Compared to September (171,364 units), the decline was 2.96%. In the January-October 2025 period, 1,602,941 units were sold, an 11.81% increase from the same period in 2024 (1,433,622 vehicles). October again showed that the Volkswagen Gol continues to top the list of preferences when buying a used car. 9,037 units were sold. "As we close the month of October, we can say that despite the decrease in used car sales compared to September, the drop has been small," said Alejandro Lamas, Secretary of the Chamber of Automotive Trade. Lamas said that "after the uncertainty of the mid-term legislative elections and with doubts cleared about the economic direction that had slowed down commercialization, it is to be expected that November will recover the level of inquiries and vehicle sales. Even so, it is important to highlight that in the annual accumulated, sales growth has been maintained." "The first 10 months of the year show a growth of almost 12%, and with 2 months left to close 2025, we will end the year surpassing the 1,750,000 units of 2024," Lamas said. He pointed out that "sales operations in showrooms are being carried out by the public by trading in their used vehicle and paying cash." "The interior continues to move steadily forward. The ranking is led by Formosa (34.77%), Neuquén (29.93%), Santiago del Estero (27.21%), Catamarca (23.40%), and Jujuy (23.07%)," he concluded.
