As car prices continue to rise day by day, many of us have already said goodbye to the dream of owning a car. Today It has become impossible to find a brand new car under 300 thousand TL.Today came striking data on how this situation is reflected.

Journalist Emre Özpeynirci, in his column he shared today, talks about car sales in Turkey. How far behind the European countries showed. Turkey ranks second to last in the list of European countries.

Bulgaria is the country that buys the fewest cars per capita in Europe.

According to the shared data in the period January – November of 2022 only 6 out of 1000 people could afford a new car. With this number, Turkey ranks second among the last of the European countries. The country at the end of the list was Bulgaria with 3.8.

The reason why Bulgaria took the last place in the list was the import of used cars. The country tops the list with 62.3. Luxembourg used to be.

Özpeynirci also rebelled against the high tax bracket:

“Now let’s go to our main topic. As you know, the base update didn’t include many models that fell into the 45-50% segment before August last year, and these models are currently selling at 80% SCT.

Isn’t it interesting that while measures are mentioned at every opportunity, such as blaming dealers and galleries for opportunism and even imposing fines for “he has a vehicle in stock”, the Treasury Department says “there are no vehicles anyway” and does not speak out against the fact that almost all vehicles are sold in the 80% segment?
