  • Let’s Look At The Best Selling Second Hand Vehicles On Gumtree [Infographic]

    So you’re keen for a new set of wheels, although that word ‘new’ seems to add a few unwanted zeros to the price.

    Sod that, because there’s no shortage of quality second hand vehicles available. You’re not alone in that line of thought, but what would you guess is the best selling model?

    Drum roll please…

    A white Toyota is the most sought after second hand vehicle in SA according to data from Gumtree Autos which, with more than two million current vehicle listings, is the country’s busiest virtual automotive showroom.

    Jeff Osborne, Head of Automotive for Gumtree SA, describes the site’s massive data base as “a treasure trove of information about our second hand car buying habits”.

    White is definitely the favourite colour in the market with more than twice as many white vehicles listed as silver ones, followed by blue in third place. Osborne believes this reflects white’s reputation for a lower cost of maintenance and repair.

    The Toyota Corolla is one of the most popular vehicles, as well as the VW Polo and VW Golf. In broader brand terms, VW is the most searched for followed by Toyota and Ford.

    There is a clear preference for hatchback vehicles (46% of users) over sedans (25%) or SUVs (14%).

    Shall we take a look at a handy infographic? Of course:

    I see the Western Cape has just pipped the Gauteng for regions with the most listings – no biggy.

    Seems like Gumtree’s popularity shows no signs of slowing down, especially since they launched their site redesign earlier this month, so if you’re in the hunt for a second hand car perhaps you want to swing by their way.

    Happy driving and buckle up.
