Many sectors had a tough last year, but second-hand sales actually went fast. It was precisely during this time that the need for a private means of transport turned out to be extra great. This is the top 10 most searched used cars of 2020!
Although car brands today increasingly focus on building SUVs and crossovers, there is little interest left in those models in the used car market. There is no one in the top 10! Furthermore, the most sought-after used cars are mainly from the more expensive brands. BMW and Mercedes-Benz, for example, are both twice in the list and not with the least models. There is not yet a massive search for used EVs: the Tesla Model 3 is the only one that manages to get a listing in the top 10.
10. Ford Fiesta
Where the Focus was previously allowed to shine in the list of the most wanted new cars, now the Fiesta appears in this list. So twice a mention for Ford. The B-segmenter, which is known for being one of the best handling cars in its class, turns out to be an occasion that quite a few people have in mind. In any case, there is plenty to choose from, because in our used car range no fewer than 3,281 Fiestas are waiting for a new owner.
9. Tesla Model 3
Meanwhile, the Tesla Model 3 has passed its peak in terms of sales numbers, but it still remains a popular choice, especially among business drivers. Sometimes you are lucky in the used car offer and you will find a copy with a lower addition. Currently there are 53 copies for sale, so there is not much to choose.
8. Mercedes-Benz E-class
It is not surprising that quite a few cars from the more expensive segment are reviewed in this top 10. When the depreciation has taken its first bite out of the purchase price, it is financially a lot more attractive to drive such a car. The E-class has been around for quite some time, so the range varies from worn-out old copies to E-classes that have just come out of the showroom. With 1,136 cars, there is at least enough to scroll through!
7. Audi A3
In 1996 Audi was the first brand of the ‘German Three’ to come up with a C-segment hatchback. Apparently he lives more among occasion seekers than the BMW 1-series and the Mercedes-Benz A-class. In this top 10, the A3 is the only Audi present. With a range of 2,742 copies, the choice is quite ample. In comparison: of the A4 there are ‘only’ 1,271 units in the shop window.
6. Ford Focus
There he is again! We already encountered him in the list of the most wanted new cars, but the Focus also manages to get many searches in the used cars. The range is even wider than is the case with the Fiesta, because of the Focus there are no fewer than 3,695 used cars for sale. Scroll down!
5. Volkswagen Polo
The Volkswagen Polo has always been a very frequent appearance in the Dutch street scene. Nowadays it is no longer in the top 10 of new cars, but the B-segmenter is still a much sought after occasion. With 3,978 cars on offer, there is at least enough to choose from, whether you are looking for a sporty GTI or an economical BlueMotion.
4. BMW 5 Series
BMW appears to be a popular brand when it comes to pre-owned vehicles, because the brand from Bavaria is represented no less than twice in the highest regions of this top 10. The Fünfer may it kick off. In the E-segment it appears to be the most sought-after occasion, because the Mercedes-Benz E-class has to make do with eighth place and the Audi A6 is nowhere to be seen. For the range consisting of 1,739 cars, the same applies as with the E: you can buy an old copy with a lot of experience for next to nothing, but there is also plenty of choice from ‘fresh’ cars.
3. Mercedes-Benz C-class
The third place on the podium of the most sought-after used cars is for the C-class. The ‘C’ is of course just a bit more accessible than the ‘E’ and that immediately translates into the available range: with 2,359 copies, that is almost twice as large as that of its big brother. Enough to doubt. In the D segment, however, the C-class must recognize its superiority in a direct competitor …
2. BMW 3 Series
BMW is taking the win in that class. The top layer of the D segment is in any case well represented on the podium. The 3-series is the most popular BMW and this is reflected in the used car range of no less than 2,908 copies. Will it be an experienced E46 with a smooth six-in-line, or a paper-efficient and much newer 330e? Take your pick!
1. Volkswagen Golf
The most wanted occasion of 2020 was the Volkswagen Golf. In the new cars, the Golf still finished in second place, but in the occasions it takes the win. With 5,357 used cars, the offer is also by far the largest of all the cars on this list. Maybe fun to walk through when you get bored during the holidays!
