Used Cars Between EGP 650K and 850K Lose Buyers in 2026

Used cars priced between EGP 650,000 and 850,000 face a real crisis in 2026. Competition from brand-new cars is reshaping buyer decisions across Egypt. The choice is no longer simple: a used car with thousands of kilometers, or a new one with full warranty and zero mileage.

New Cars Corner the Market

Fadel Mahmoud, a car dealer, sees a clear trend: used cars in this price bracket are struggling to attract buyers. The variety of new cars at similar prices gives customers more options than ever before. He points out that buyers now compare a used car's history and potential repairs against a factory-backed warranty on a new model. The new car wins this battle every time.

Vehicles No One Touches

Certain used cars have sat on the market for months with no serious interest. The issue isn't the car itself—it's the price relative to perceived value. Why spend EGP 700,000 on a used car when a new one costs about the same?

More Brands, New Competitive Landscape

The growing number of new models in the EGP 650,000–850,000 range has redrawn the competitive map. Old used-car prices no longer match today's market reality. Buyers can now choose from multiple brands, trims, and features. Some would rather stretch their budget slightly for a new vehicle than settle for a used one at a premium price.

Re-Pricing Is the Only Way Forward

Dealers warn that stubborn sellers holding high prices will extend the stagnation. Cars will remain listed indefinitely if prices don't align with new-car alternatives. The fair price is the one that generates movement in the used-car market, especially for vehicles whose prices creep into new-car territory. Flexibility is the key to selling, and those who adapt will survive this shift.
