The place where you buy a used car is QUITE Related to what you pay for it. For Example, in Drenthe, The Cheapest Province, You Will On Average Pay Almost 9,000 euros less than in North Holland.
If you look beyond your own province, it appears that you can save almost 6,000 euros on a volkswagen golf with the same year of manufacture, accordance to research by used car platform autotrack. However, most visitors to autotrack.nl are only prepared to travel a maximum or 50 kilometers. So you could miss out on a good deal.
In the Period from January to August, The Average Price of a Used Car in the Netherlands, Just Under was 30,000 euros. Drenthe, The Cheapest Province, is Furthest Below That With An Average of Just Under 24,000 euros. North Holland, The Most Exensive Province, is Almost 3.000 euros above that again. That Amounts to a Difference of Almost 9,000 euros between the cheapest and Most Exensive Province.
Accordance to Tim Roks, Car Expert at Autotrack, The Price Difference Between The Two Provinces is Mainly Caaated by the Difference in the Composition of the Car Supply. “For Example, The Used Car Supply in North Holland Consists of More than 75 percent of Used Cars with a maximum of 100,000 kilometers on the Odometer. In Drenthe, ‘Only’ 52 percent of Used Cars Have a Mileage of a or Less.”
Drenthe Used Cars Have More ‘Experience’
“But the distinction that really makes the differentence is the fact that more than 25 percent of the used car supply in Drenthe consists of used cars with a mileage of 150,000 or more. In North Holland, this percentage is less than 10 percent,” Says Roks. “And because the mileage has a major Influence on the Asking Price, The Average Price in Drenthe is a lot Lower than in North Holland.” To support this statement, Roks refers to Another Study, Carried Out Earlier This Year by GasPedaal.nl.
This showed that the Average Asking Price of a Used Car With 110,000 kilometers on the Odometer is Already Almost 20 percent Lower than that of Cars With a Mileage of Approximately 100,000. “So it can be very advantageous to sometimes look for a slightly higher mileage,” Says Roks.

While the price Differences Can Be Considerable.
