July's median price describes none of the best-selling models
Used car prices tend to be discussed as a single figure, and for July that figure is 11,480 €. Yet not one of the ten best-selling models actually changes hands at that price: eight of them sit below it and two above. Across July's 49,358 sales the top of the list is filled by old, high-mileage cars such as the Volkswagen Golf and the Skoda Octavia, while the more expensive half of the market is made up of newer SUVs and electric cars. The median falls between these two groups and describes neither. · 17 min read
