It Didn’t Happen Again: Used Car Prices Higher Than Zero

The government a few weeks ago, the second-hand automotive industry to put out your fire took a new decision. This by decision In second-hand car advertisements, the price of the vehicles could not be written higher than the new ones. For sellers who do not comply with this decision, up to 300 thousand TL fine would be applied. The regulation that entered into force as of 15 July 2023, unfortunately, did not show the expected effect.

Some dealers and citizens who want to sell their vehicles, despite the arrangement They continue to keep prices above what they should be. In addition, with the prices of some cars in the ad, Actual selling prices are also different.. Let’s take a closer look at some of the advertisements on the internet.

Here is one of the ads

Above, you can see the advertisement of the 2023 model Citroen C4 X. When we look at the current price list of Citroen, we see that 1.461.400 TL is requested for the new vehicle of this vehicle. Since “Full + full” is written, it is again in Citroen’s price list. all options added to the vehicle. Even in this case, we encountered a price of 1.534,604 TL. If the owner of the vehicle owns this vehicle, 1,589,000 TL he wrote. No one knows how the price is determined.

One of the most preferred vehicles in Turkey is the Hyundai i20. A price of 1.085.000 TL is requested for the above vehicle. The price on Hyundai’s website is 920,271 TL. In addition, Hyundai does not offer an option price list for this model. It is not clear how the option prices are determined, and how the vehicle is advertised at this price.

Almost every brand has a similar situation.

Here is another posting. The gallery has written 1.165.000 TL for the 2023 model Opel Corsa. However, the price of the same vehicle on Opel’s website is 1,134,900 TL. Add to that the metallic color difference. 1.147,612 TL we see the price…

Renault is a must…

This car, for which 1.150.000 TL is requested, Renault’s website When all options are added, it costs 1.114.250 TL.

Same for Toyota Corolla.

The Toyota Corolla Hybrid Passion X-Pack vehicle, which a foreign national wanted to sell and posted a few days ago, appears on the brand’s website as 1,521,650 TL, including the metallic color option price. Vehicle owner, He wants 128,350 TL more.

As you can see in the examples above, in almost every brand A similar situation is occurring. If we continue our research of brand and model, we are sure that these examples will multiply.

The prices on the websites of the brands are also frequently seen!

Again on the same advertisement sites, the price list of the brands functioning as it is There are also some cars. The post above is one of them. On Honda’s website, we see that 2,234,000 TL is requested for the 2022 model Honda Accord Executive+. The seller posted the same price. Technically in this post there is no illegal.

However, the actual selling price of the vehicle may differ from that shown in the ad!

The regulation that came into effect as of 15 July The most interesting thing is: The regulation only limits the advertised prices of vehicles. There are no restrictions on selling second-hand vehicles at a higher price than new.

Let’s say we call the owner of the Honda Accord and say we want to buy the vehicle. The seller can declare to us that he wants a price of 2 million 500 thousand TL. Even we accept this price and we can buy at the desired price. There are no restrictions on this.
