The new restrictions on the sale of used vehicles, announced last week by Commerce Minister Mehmet Muş and published this week in the Official Gazette, sparked the reaction of some names in the sector. The new decree prohibiting the sale of new vehicles before 6 months have passed or 6000 kilometers has been exceeded, He will be charged with unconstitutionality.
The case in question Federation of Motor Vehicle Dealers (MASFED) will be opened by In his statement on the subject, Federation President Aydın Erkoç claimed that 70 thousand car dealers were ignored in the decision, that the positions of the sector were not taken, that the decision would not affect the solution of existing problems and that it would apply to the Council of State.
“Only 1 in 5 of the vehicles sold are sold by authorized dealers”

Erkoç stated that only a fifth of vehicles sold in Turkey are sold by authorized dealers and said it is not clear how the new regulation will prevent unregistered workers. Erkoçs”We all know the problems experienced and the reasons for the price increases.His explanation was as follows:
“There are serious problems in the sector. The previous day, Minister Nurettin Nebati announced that 100 thousand taxpayers, who are disrupting the balance between supply and demand and causing the informal economy, were on the radar. We, as traders, who pay taxes to the government with a license and try to practice the profession properly within the institutional framework, combat this by reminding that people who have not been registered for years and who buy and sell vehicles under the stairs without paying taxes upsets the market balance.”
“80% of sales are not registered”
“With this new arrangement, questions like how to prevent these people also arise for us. In addition, attempts are made to scapegoat car dealers who operate within an ethical framework to combat sector problems. However, car dealers, who cannot buy cars from dealers anyway, are completely outside the scope of this issue. In Turkey, a total of 9 million vehicles are sold annually, of which 750 thousand new and 8 million 250 thousand second-hand. Today, only one-fifth of new and used car sales nationwide are made by dealers and authorized motor vehicle dealers. The other four-fifths are done by these people who work informally, have nothing to do with this business and drive prices up.”
