go n see the UK classifieds la.. or even japan export car companies.. many exporting used 1-2year old models. what u toking

Nvm, u got the badge of God +999% attraction rate on opposite s3x.

Those cars tend to have high mileage, IIRC. i.e. company cars that get used so much that after 1-2 years they want to dispose of them cause they are going to give problems. And mileage counts a lot in Europe... not age. A 5 year old low mileage car of the same model and original price tag may be worth as much as one that is 1 year old, but with high mileage. Another reason why there are so many 1-3 year old cars is that Leasing is quite popular in Europe. You pay a certain amount, maybe 5000 Euro on a car that's worth 20000 Euro, and then pay monthly rates, which amount to another 5000. After, say, 3 years, you either pay the final rate of over 10000 (which is what is expected the car is still worth by then. The mileage you are allowed to do is limited and agreed upon in the contract), or you return the car to the dealer/manufacturer, who will sell it. Ownership of the car only transfers to the person once he has paid the final rate, until then it's not his.

My family bought a one year old car for around 8000 Euro that was around 14000 when new... admittedly a (repaired) parking accident has also lowered the value, but there you go. If that's not a price drop I don't know what is.

Once the car has changed to second hand status (even if it was registered by the dealership only, and was never moved a km) the price drops significantly.

For luxury cars in Germany after 3 years you can expect the value to be 45% of what it used to cost.

feel free to buy wat you desire...
feel responsible in time to take care of it...

too many on the road

pls la.. u are not the only one who was in uk/europe.. there are many 1year old cars with full service history ready for export..
yes it doesnt mean owner doesnt lose its value after 1year compared to original price.. but there is plenty good condition ones for sale even those approved premium used car by branded companies.
as for japan, there is certification or grading for used car export, to confirm to condition is up to spec.. 1-2years old cars are plenty in very good condition too.. again doesnt mean there is no sells 1-2year old cars unless they are high milage items

added some pix examples of japan exporting grade 1 used vehicles nearly brand new 2014 model or low 20k milage ones..
milage 3k+..



23k milage fuga



etc etc

the same trend that responsible to mould the after sales service such workshop, warranty etc...

You haven't read the rest of my posting, have you? It can also be cars from leasing contracts, though they tend to run longer than 1 year... then mileage won't be so high.

All I wanted to say was that in the first year there is the biggest depreciation. After that it slows down. First year you may lose 40% of the value, second year 20%, and from then on 5% per year. That sort of thing, though the numbers are nowhere near the real ones probably.

Btw., who says no one dialed back the mileage on those cars? That's trivial to do, with the right equipment.

dont be stupid la.. there is some official grading on export cars in japan.. not every body doing business wants to be some conman.. or perhaps maybe you think that way..

Not every one, but more than enough people I guess. In any case, maybe those cars are really having such a low mileage, but since mileage is important when selling a car, any car that does have a high mileage should be dialed back, because it makes a big enough difference. I'd be especially careful with cars meant for export, as export makes it harder to check the background of the car.

High 5! was thinking about Megane
