Australia's Top Selling Cars by Manufacturer

Is your vehicle one of Australia’s top selling cars? 

Known fact – Some cars hold their value better than others. Most people don’t realise the implications of this until they try to sell their car or find car buyers. Knowing what sells well in the Australian car market can potentially help you decrease the loss in value of selling your vehicle in the used car market, e.g. sell car online, sell car for cash to dealers or selling privately.

Depreciation is the single biggest cost of owning a car. Significant numbers of cars are loosing a minimum of one third of its value in the first 3 years and others loosing a lot more. Choosing the right car initially can minimize your loss when you are ready to sell your car.
