The VO for up to three years becomes a 'mobility anti-crisis solution'
Used car sales rise 5% until June
Second-hand vehicles sales rose 5% in the first half of 2013, up to 809.160 units, what was the relationship of sales VO/VN values 2.1 to 1, according to data from the Institute of automotive studies (IEA) to the National Association of Motor vehicles sellers (Ganvam), representing 4,600 dealers/official services and 3,000 sales.
Operations with vehicles closed the first half on positive, in contrast to the market of new that fell by 4.9%, demonstrating how the lack of credit and the loss of purchasing power have become second hand cars solution anti-crisis or what is the same, a real mobility solution.
Specifically, the report carried out by Ganvam highlights how sales of secondhand for up to three years were increased by 19.6% to June, rising as a natural alternative to the new, especially when their exclusion from the PIVE-2 pressed down their prices to maintain its attractiveness compared to the models brand new. In this context, operations with VO for up to three years gained weight between professional sellers, with an increase of 22.1% until June.
This great reception from young vehicles evidence, once again, the need for inclusion in a possible extension of the PIVE in order to continue to push forward its demand popular and, at the same time, counter sales of old cars between individuals with negative impact to road safety and the age of the Park. At present, half has an average age of 9.5 years.
Indeed, sales of vehicles more than ten years between individuals--best known as mileuristas - grew 15.2% in the first half driven by its low price and ease of payment in cash, erecting is as the solution forced engine for those who need a car in lean times. At present, six of every ten VO operations are performed with vehicles of high age, high mileage and low price.
According to the President of Ganvam, Juan Antonio Sánchez Torres, "If the DGT pursues a more young and Park safe look in 2016, is too ambitious to get it deposited all the confidence in the new vehicle, judging by the numbers of registrations, close to 700,000 this year. We need to promote the sale of used young, who are drivers can afford right now to buy; VO is the car of the people".
Another of the formulas that the employer proposes to renew the park with used more youth and facilitate their access to individuals, is the possibility that these are tax-deductible quotas of renting in the income tax, as is the case already in United Kingdom and the Netherlands, which would encourage the coach change every four years, ensuring a more youthful and best maintained park.
