La Centrale made headlines in the used-vehicle market this week by unveiling its first artificial intelligence agents, an announcement that is shaking up a French market in the midst of restructuring.
AUTO1 Group, at the heart of analyses on the decline in wholesale prices, notes that professionals are now buying at levels not seen since 2021. Leboncoin Auto and Aramisauto follow suit, the former thanks to its supply and demand data, the latter through a clearly visible commercial momentum. Autohero, BCAuto Enchères and Benzin round out a landscape in which online marketplaces and professional auctions compete for trade-ins. Renault Occasions and Stellantis &You Occasions bear witness to automakers' entry into this space, while L'Argus remains the most consulted reference for price estimates.
The French used-vehicle market thus finds itself at a crossroads, caught between falling prices on the professional side, a projected shortage of supply in Europe, and the growing influence of digital tools, which could reshuffle the cards before year-end.
