Weekly asking price change while still for sale
- After one week, dealer asking prices for cars still for sale in Germany, across all models, had changed by −0.3% on average (indicative range −1.1% to +0.4%, set from how much models' changes varied across all eight countries in the latest week we could check); 13% of the cars were listed lower at the end of at least one observed week (3,512 cars from 432 dealers).
- After 2 weeks, dealer asking prices for cars still for sale in Germany, across all models, had changed by −0.6% on average (indicative range −1.7% to +0.5%, set from how much models' changes varied across all eight countries in the latest week we could check); 17% of the cars were listed lower at the end of at least one observed week (1,824 cars from 259 dealers).
We use one figure for all models in the country because, in testing, separate model figures predicted the next week no better. The indicative range uses a shared width set from all eight countries, with coverage within each country and in later weeks still unverified; cars sold or withdrawn leave the sample, and we never see sale prices.
