Last year, the second-hand vehicle sales ban (6+6) came into force to prevent companies from buying new cars and then selling them at high prices. In this context, the sale of a new vehicle is prohibited before 6 months have passed after purchasing it and before the car has traveled 6000 km. Today, motorcycles have been added to the second-hand vehicle sales ban.
The second-hand vehicle sales ban (6 months + 6 thousand km) now also applies to motorcycles!
The 6-month + 6,000 km sales ban, which was introduced to prevent opportunism in car sales, came into force in September last year. In this way, people who buy and sell cars for commercial purposes were prevented from purchasing vehicles from dealers and offering them for sale at much higher prices.
Thanks to the regulation, dealers and car rental fleets cannot sell a new car within 6 months after purchasing it and before the cars reach 6 thousand km. With the decision published in the Official Gazette today, the ban on second-hand vehicle sales now also applies to motorcycles. But it does not apply to individual motorcycle users. In other words, it only covers those who trade in second-hand motorcycles.
