Used car prices have continued a downward trend since 2023, with the average vehicle cost reaching 27,934 euros in August 2026. This figure mirrors levels seen in August 2022 and marks a significant drop from the peak of 30,110 euros recorded in April 2023.
Data from Autoscout24 shows gasoline and diesel prices fell over 4.6% this year, while electric vehicle prices rose 7.8% to an average of 42,502 euros. Small cars and vans also saw monthly declines, with small cars dropping to 14,280 euros in August 2026.
Nikolaus Menches, head of Autoscout24 in Austria, notes a shifting market as demand for used electric cars surged 80% between August 2025 and 2026. This rising interest in EVs contrasts with the general price decline across traditional combustion segments.
