In today’s issue of the Official Gazette, his car about those who want to sell A very important decision has been made. According to the decision of the Department of Commerce, cars cannot be advertised on buying and selling sites at a higher price than the new model. The Department of Commerce stated in its press release on the subject that those opposed to the decision up to 300 thousand TL He said he could be fined.

So, has this regulation prevented citizens from breaking the rules? Of course not. If we take a look at the most popular advertising site in Turkey, “absurd“We see that there are countless advertisements with prices. So much so that prices of 1,079 TL were written for a car for 20 days. In other words, there are 3 zeros away from the actual selling price of the vehicle, 1 million 79 thousand TL .

Here are some interesting ads we saw on the classifieds site:

Looking at the ad above, 2022 model for only 1,225 TL Toyota Corolla We see it being sold. Considering the market value of the vehicle, we can foresee that we will encounter a price of 1 million 225 thousand TL when the advertisement is reached.

Here’s another example. This friend only wants 2,825 TL for his car. Considering the current prices of Audi A4 models, we can estimate that the actual asking price for the vehicle is 2 million 825 thousand TL.

In the screenshot above in a similar situation You see other tools. In the meantime; Let’s also point out that we cannot reach the ads with the screenshot that falls on the web. Of course, if some people thought that throwing 3 zeros would attract attention, they write 100,000 TL instead of 1,000,000 TL by throwing a single zero instead of three zeros.

There are also some confusing issues in the arrangement:

In the screenshot above, it will take effect from July 15 your decision entire text is located. When you read the text, you become confused about two issues in particular. The first of these is:I have a car. Zero is no longer being produced or is not coming to Turkey?” problem. No one knows at this point how this citizen will sell his car. The only thing that can determine the price is insurance value. Suppose the citizen determined the price based on the insurance value.

This time increases the value of the vehicle extras Activated. Citizens may have paid tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of liras for these accessories, and may have differentiated their vehicle from others. In this case the price what is determined?

Another thing about the insurance value: some used cars have more than zero insurance value!

You can see the insurance values ​​of the vehicles from Türkiye Insurance Association. website there is. The screenshot above is also taken from that website. in screenshot Model 2023 Hyundai i20 styleYou see the insurance value of . The insurance cost of the vehicle is 730 thousand TL. Now we are going to show you something strange.

In the screenshot above you can see the insurance value of the 2022 Hyundai i20 Style model. Exactly 835 thousand 100 TL. So the one-year-old Hyundai i20 comes from the brand new i20 in more valuable. Citizens make calculations about the above values ​​when taking out loans and making insurance payments. What will citizens do now? What and how is it calculated?

Editor’s Note: As someone who has been in the industry for years, it’s not reasonable to believe that the Commerce Department’s decision will work. However, what really needed to happen was restrictions on individuals and companies and fleets, which were called “opportunistic”. If citizens could easily get their hands on a brand new vehicle, prices would not be so high and cars would not become an investment vehicle. A fine of 300 thousand TL, the big money in this sector will be a big problem…
