Argentina's automotive market is going through a contraction period that has opened a window of opportunity for buyers. According to sector data, accumulated sales fell approximately 10% compared to 2025, while purchases of new vehicles (known locally as 0 km) through financing dropped 10.3% in the first five months of the year. In the used car segment, the decline was even more pronounced: 30.5%.
In this scenario, Stellantis —the multinational group that brings together brands like Fiat, Peugeot, Citroën, Jeep and DS— announced the auction of its corporate fleet through the online platform Narvaezbid, offering vehicles with very few kilometers at values that can represent up to half the list price.
| Model | Year | Mileage | Current Offer | List Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiat Toro Volcano 2.2 TD 4x4 | 2026 | 332 km | $29,267,000 | $57,190,000 |
| Peugeot e2008 GT (electric) | 2024 | 2,000-6,000 km | In bidding | Consult |
| Jeep Gladiator Rubicon | 2021 | 91,410 km | In bidding | Consult |
The organizers recommend thoroughly reading the descriptions of each vehicle, as some units may have mechanical details or bodywork and paint issues. It's also advisable to verify delivery conditions, administrative costs, and available documentation.
The bid value does not include administrative fees or taxes. Buyers must consider that the final price will be increased by these concepts. Conditions vary by auction house: some lots allow purchase in the name of third parties, others don't.
Stellantis' decision to auction its corporate fleet takes place in a context of automotive market contraction. According to ACARA (the chamber grouping Argentine car dealerships), the first half of 2026 accumulated 294,181 registered units, 9.9% less than the 326,549 in the same period of 2025.
The leading brands of the semester were Toyota, Volkswagen and Fiat, while BYD entered the top 10 of brands for the first time, signaling growing interest in electric vehicles. Sebastián Beato, head of ACARA, projects a recovery for the second half of the year.
For international readers or expatriates in Argentina, this auction represents a unique opportunity to acquire premium and electric vehicles at significantly reduced prices. However, foreigners should consider:
