After the low point at the beginning of last year, used premium car sales have been on a clear upward trend, which should continue this year, according to Estonia's largest used Ferati car dealer in Estonia, Ferati.
According to Ferati's CEO, the company's sales results in the Estonian market remained approximately 10% below those of 2024, but following the buying spree that took place before the car tax came into effect, this is entirely logical, in his opinion. "The first months of the year were quiet, but people adapted to the new situation and our sales statistics showed that purchasing interest grew with each quarter," confirms Oliver Lee, adding that all signs point to the positive trend continuing in the new year.
According to Ferati's CEO, the luxury car segment is always significantly less affected by the general environment and tax games. "Luxury car buyers don't worry about trivial matters; they tend to be unpredictable and often base their decisions on emotions. The car tax had some impact at the beginning of the year, as the accompanying emotion was negative and luxury car buyers were able to show their feelings," explains Lee, but adds that sales in this segment recovered quickly.
Ferati's own portfolio has seen significant growth in the export ofpremiumand luxury vehicles. "Two years ago, we sold two-thirds of our cars in Estonia and one-third abroad, but last year, those ratios were exactly the opposite," Lee comments.
Ferati sold a total of 200 cars last year, of which the most expensive in Estonia was a Lamborghini Urus costing around a quarter of a million euros, and the most expensive sold abroad was a Lamborghini Revuleto costing over three-quarters of a million euros.
