Automobiles produced by Tofaş in the 90s became very popular in Turkey. Although the main reason for this high interest and demand was the affordable price in the beginning, nowadays properly preserved ones are sold for the price of new cars. But it is possible to import really zero ones at this price. Because, apart from Turkey, there are other countries producing 2023 brand new Tofaş Şahin. So how much is the price?
How much is 2023 Tofaş Şahin?
Production of Tofaş Şahin in Turkey ended 20 years ago. However, it continues to be produced and sold for more than 10 years in countries such as Egypt and Ethiopia. And without the slightest addition. In other words, it is exactly the same as the vehicle that was put on sale here in 2000.
Of course, not with the same brand and model nomenclature. New names and logos determined by the brands that have acquired the production rights are used. For example, it goes on sale with the name and logo of Holland Docc from the assembly plant established for the first time in Ethiopia.
Does car color affect fuel consumption?
You can make it more efficient with the choices you make while buying a car. But does car color really affect fuel consumption?
However, in Ethiopia, decisions were made to stop production after 2017. Although sales were made periodically, the factory was slowly starting to lose its function. However, according to the latest news, zero Tofaş Şahin production started again in 2023.
In this way, people and companies that want to import from Turkey will be able to bring these brand new cars. However, it should be noted that there is a great demand for this vehicle in Ethiopia as it is affordable and the first batch sold out on the same day.
Of course, since the demand is not only in the domestic market, it is stated that Ethiopia has decided to continue production throughout the year. Its price is at the level of 13 thousand dollars. That is roughly equivalent to $250,000. However, it should be noted that if it is imported, shipping and customs fees will be added.
However, no one will want to miss the opportunity to buy a new one for a much cheaper price when compared to the second-hand versions that find buyers for 300-400 thousand TL due to low mileage. You can watch the production videos of the vehicle from the past years via the links below.
