Decrease from Rs 80,000 to Rs 60,000 for Reconditioned Cars

From January to April, 2214 new cars were sold in 1893 against reconditioned. Although the general trend indicates a preference for new cars, reconditioned cars are popular right now. It is difficult to predict by the end of the year, dealers and importers of vehicles will sell more cars or reconditioned.

This is mainly new cars 1200cc coming to take them out of the game in this category, there is no competition. 1200cc to 1600cc, there is fierce competition for those who import reconditioned cars do not pay the carbon tax. This factor plays against the dealers of new cars.

There is also the fact that the yen has depreciated recently, and reconditioned cars from Japan declined price of Rs 60,000 to Rs 80,000.

"The carbon tax affect the sale of new cars"

Last year in the same period, 68% of cars sold were new and 32% of reconditioned cars, said Gilles Lallane, president of the Motor Vehicle Dealers Association to Le Matinal. "To date, we can not say anything about the sale this year. By the end of the year, dealers hope to sell about 7 000 7 500 new vehicles but the trend can also be reversed and reconditioned cars can regain the coast, "he said. According to Gilles Lallane the only factor affecting the new car dealers is the carbon tax. "We do not understand why those who import their cars from Japan do not pay this tax. When a vehicle is manufactured in the country of origin, it has a standard GC08 but when it happens in another country's standard is UN101. The first standard is lower and customs accept this, "he said.

For the first four months of the year, Kia has dominated the car market with 345 sales, followed by Toyota - 262, Hyundai - 237 and Nissan  - 221. But if we compare the trucks and cars is Toyota stands out with 495 vehicles, followed by Kia - 368 Nissan - 364 and Hyundai  - 249. With the fleet increases, the problem of congestion will crescendo. Those who go to work will still take their troubles patiently.
