JAKARTA - The sale of used cars in Indonesia is classified as increasing throughout 2024 compared to the previous year, based on data revealed by Carro Indonesia.

From the data shared, sales of used cars are claimed to have doubled in 2024 compared to the previous year, which provided the fact that used cars are relatively popular in Indonesia.

"Carro welcomes the fact that used cars are very popular in Indonesia, and we believe that the trend of future sales is still positive because it provides its own benefits for consumers," said President Director of Carro Indonesia Bryan Tan, in an official statement received on Tuesday, January 14.

Bryan revealed that the reason people choose to buy used cars rather than new cars, in addition to the more affordable price, according to him, is that the percentage decrease in the value (depreciation) of used cars is lower, so they can be sold again at a price that is not too low.

"The risk of decreasing used car prices is much smaller because this depreciation has occurred in many early years of buying new cars," he explained.

He further said that generally cars experienced a decline in prices of around 15 to 25 percent per year in the first five years after purchases.

Furthermore, he assessed that the quality of used cars is not much different from the new one, as long as they buy them in the right place. Plus tax and insurance premium fees that are lighter than new cars.

"All these benefits are only obtained by consumers from used cars," he explained.

Welcoming 2025, Carro also provides a series of special offers. Covering discounts of up to IDR 28 million, down payment of 8 percent, to exchange for cashback of up to IDR 800 thousand.
