In recent years in Turkey, in order to avoid opportunism in the sale of used cars, sales have been carried out 6 months 6 thousand km limit was introduced. A decision taken in June announced that this practice would be extended until 2025.

However, on July 5, they quietly sold the vehicles they had invoiced to brands and distributors as second-hand for 6 months and 6,000 km. Sale as second-hand without complying with this opportunity was given. The reason for this decision, which does not concern galleries and dealers, is the new regulations that came into force on July 7 (postponed to August 31 for some vehicles) and certain restrictions on vehicles. regulations requiring security features This left brands with a large inventory. Journalist Emre Özpeynirci also brought us important data on this topic.

Brands and distributors bought 23 thousand cars for themselves

In Özpeynirci’s article in Gazete Giriş:it was revealed how many vehicles the brands and distributors themselves invoiced. Accordingly, 73 thousand cars were sold in July Among them were 23 thousandIn other words, the brands bought 23 thousand second-hand because of the remaining stock as a result of the regulations.

Özpeynirci also added that this situation will be reflected in second-hand sales. Special between August and October We see that the cars bought by brands and distributors are sold on the second-hand market. At the moment, these companies have thousands of second-hand cars with registration and zero km.

In addition, it is stated that the reason for the sales of 94 thousand vehicles (both cars and light commercial vehicles) in July, which are expected to stagnate, is due to these cars. In other words, without invoicing them, we would have had much lower sales figures. 23 thousand cars is not a small number.

If we leave these vehicles out of the equation, we see that the decline in car sales continues.

All this data, not 73 thousand in July, About 50,000 cars were sold and actual sales about 42% turns out he fell. So, contrary to popular belief, selling The decline did not stop, but increased even more.
