Is it practical to import a car under $ 10,000? / What cars can be imported?
Trade News reports show that there is no car in the European market worth $ 10,000 that Iran can import to fulfill the promise of cheap cars. This means that Minister Samat’s promise has no executive aspect, and the cheapest cars on the European market cost more than $ 10,000.
On this basis, either Minister Samat has made a hollow promise or promised to import such cars without examining the domestic car market.
But a closer look at the European car market shows that a limited number of car models are being traded at the same price in the European market. But the biggest disadvantage of these cars is their small size. Because in the case of a European car, it is not possible to buy a spacious and suitable car for all family members at the same time and spend only 10 thousand dollars for it.
Second hand European cars
If the government has a plan European car If he imports second hand, he still can not easily buy suitable cars at such a price. The average price of a used car in countries such as Italy, Germany and France is in the range of 15 to 20 thousand dollars. Of course, if the second-hand car has been used for 20 or 30 years, its price will be reduced to $ 5,000 or $ 6,000.
The question is what kind of cars the government wants to import with this promise, and if these imports are done, are these cars economical and practical, or will they sell them at a high price simply because they are foreign. Assuming the import of used cars, do second-hand cars have proper performance or are they just a waste of money and the hassle of repairing and finding their parts?
