When is the best time of year to sell your car to 保証（人） you get the best price??

For some drivers it is the first half of the year, によれば a new 報告（する）／憶測 - but for those who own an SUV it's at the tail-end of the calendar when values are highest.

The 熟考する／考慮する, which is based on the 容積／容量 of sales and 普通の／平均（する） prices for major 乗り物 types - 含むing hatchbacks, saloons and 転換できるs - 否定するs the age-old belief that the hotter months are 一般に the best time to sell a car.

But what if you need to part ways with your モーター 権利 now? We also 明らかにする／漏らす which models are selling fastest this month...

Online car buying and selling marketplace Carwow has reviewed 内部の data on prices 申し込む／申し出d for 乗り物s compared to their 普通の／平均（する） market valuations and when most examples are sold.?

This 明らかにする／漏らすd which months of the year are most 望ましい for owners to 首尾よく offload their cars for the 最大限 price possible.

And it is predominantly the 開始 five months of the year when 運転者s should strike when the アイロンをかける's hot, with the data showing that 販売人s are more likely to 転換 their cars for a higher price than market value.?

This time of year also 誇るs the biggest 容積／容量 of 乗り物 sales.

'This is likely 予定 to 売買業者s buying 乗り物s in 準備 for the high 需要・要求する throughout summer,' Carwow's 専門家 team 示唆するd.

This is 反映するd by the 最新の 産業 sales data, which shows that used 乗り物 処理／取引s in the 開始 three months of 2024 had 攻撃する，衝突する a five-year high,

The Society of モーター 製造業者s and 仲買人s 確認するd that over 1.9million second-手渡す モーターs changed 手渡すs between the start of January and end of March - more than in the same period during pre-pandemic 2019.?

And selling earlier in the year to get the best 取引，協定 is even the 事例／患者 for 転換できる models.?

This is にもかかわらず the general 合意 that prices are higher during summer when an open-最高の，を越す car is more 控訴，上告ing.

However, Carwow's data shows?the best time to sell a roadster or 転換できる is 早期に spring.?

In April 2022, the 普通の／平均（する） price 申し込む／申し出d for a 転換できる reached its 頂点（に達する） at 100.9 per cent of the 普通の／平均（する） valuation.?

However, March was the month that saw the highest number of 転換できる car sales through Carwow in the same year.

Across the six different 乗り物 団体／死体 types, the best months to sell ーに関して／ーの点でs of getting?the highest price, mostly 落ちる within the first half of the year.?

In particular, the first ４半期/4分の1 is 特に favourable for those wanting to maximise 利益（をあげる）s.

But there is one exception to the 支配する: SUVs.

In 2022, the highest 量 申し込む／申し出d compared to valuation was during November and the highest number of SUVs sold during the same year was the month of September.

February stands out as the only month の中で the 最高の，を越す five ーに関して／ーの点でs of both the 量 申し込む／申し出d and the number sold across all 団体／死体 types, making it the prime choice for selling your car.

John Rawlings, 消費者 Editor at Carwow, explained: 'Our data shows that the first few months of the year 申し込む／申し出 the highest 量 for a 乗り物 compared to the 初期の valuation, making this the ideal time to sell.?

'It's unsurprising considering we see more cars sold through our 壇・綱領・公約 before the end of spring.

'March is a 特に busy month for 首尾よく selling cars across さまざまな 団体／死体 types, 同時に起こる／一致するing with the 解放（する） of new 登録 plates. However, we advise 目的（とする）ing for January or February to fetch the best price, though results may 変化させる depending on the 明確な／細部 car in question.'

Want to sell now? The models that are snapped up quickest (and those that take over THREE MONTHS)?

If you're thinking about selling your car in May, there are some models that will go much quicker than others.?

によれば the 最新の data from 自動車 仲買人, the Peugeot 208 (石油, up to 1 year-old) is 現在／一般に the UK’s fastest-selling used car.

The compact French hatchback takes an 普通の／平均（する） of just 11 days to leave retailers’ forecourts, meaning it's snapped up more than two and a half times faster than the 国家の 普通の／平均（する）.?

However, at an 普通の／平均（する） of 28 days, used cars 一般に are selling three days faster this month than they were in May 2023.

This is based on the 800,000 乗り物s 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）d for sale on the nation's largest 乗り物 marketplace each month.

All of the 最高の，を越す 10 fastest 販売人s take an 普通の／平均（する） of two weeks to find a 買い手.

の中で them is the Toyota Prius hybrid (3 to 5 years old), which take いっそう少なく than two weeks (12.5 days) to find a new owner after 存在 advertised for sale.

The Seat Leon Plug-in hybrid (3 to 5 years old) takes just 13 days, as does the Volvo XC40 SUV with 石油 engines (1 to 3 years old).

Another sprightly 販売人 is the electric Jaguar I-Pace (5 to 10 years old), with models 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）d for sale 一般に finding a new keeper in just under a fortnight (14 days).

At the opposite end of the spectrum, there are some models that are taking an 普通の／平均（する） of three months or longer to 転換.

The sporty BMW M2 クーデター (up to 1 year old) takes an 普通の／平均（する） of 104 days to find a new owner - though given the 業績／成果 car is expensive, 高くつく／犠牲の大きい to insure and an acquired taste, this is not all that surprising.

Electric cars also 支配する the 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） of 10 乗り物s with the longest sale times, にもかかわらず the fact their 普通の／平均（する） values are fallen 大幅に, meaning many cost around the same - if not いっそう少なく - than their 石油 同等（の）s.

The Fiat 500e and Volkswagen's ID.3 and ID.5 all take between 84 and 95 days to sell on 普通の／平均（する）.

The?BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, Audi Q5 SUV,?範囲 Rover Sport, Ford Mondeo and Mercedes V-Class （不足などを）補う the 残り／休憩（する） of the 最高の，を越す 10, all of them taking an 普通の／平均（する） of more than two months (70 days) to find a new keeper.

Commenting on the data, Richard Walker, 自動車 仲買人’s data and insights director, said: 'The 速度(を上げる） at which used cars sell is a 重要な 指示する人（物） of the underlying strength of the market.

'Since the New Year, we’ve 跡をつけるd very 強健な levels of 消費者 需要・要求する, and whilst the 普通の／平均（する） 速度(を上げる） of sale has 軟化するd わずかに on the 記録，記録的な／記録する pace we saw in March, the market continues to carry some real 勢い behind it.

'Cars are selling faster than last year, 小売 prices are stabilising, and importantly, with 普通の／平均（する） sales up over 6 per cent in April, more cars are also 存在 sold.?

'最近の green shoots in the economy point to very stable months ahead.'
