Dealers across St. Petersburg boosted prices for used cars to about 2.2 million rubles last month. This marks a sharp 13% increase. The Lada Vesta ranked among the most popular models people bought in the city.
Market experts say dealers shifted their focus to cars that sell quickly. They stock vehicles with clear histories and good mechanical condition. These changes helped drive up the average price at dealerships throughout the Northern capital.
According to reports from Vecherniy Petersburg and Avto.ru Business, cars from private sellers remained more affordable at 1.51 million rubles, which has remained unchanged since February 2025. Shoppers looking for better deals might consider buying directly from individual owners.
The three top-selling used cars in St. Petersburg include the Russian-made Lada Vesta, the Korean Kia Rio, and the German Volkswagen Polo. These models continue to attract local buyers despite rising costs. Previous studies also looked at new car prices across St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region and which tire brands locals prefer.
