Ukrainians are forced to buy overpriced used cars.
Recently time, not only cars grow in price, but the cost of their legalization in Ukraine increases. The size of the tax is growing due to the growth of the taxable base, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to Channel 24.
The car market is very unstable right now. Prices are rising, and the quality of cars is deteriorating. The first factor is the shortage of new cars, due to the lack of chips and semiconductors. Most people who used to buy only new cars have switched to used cars.
Previously, it was possible to bring a good car for yourself from Europe at an affordable price without any problems, but not now. Customs clearance of cars from Europe and Korea in Ukraine has risen in price by 20%. The thing is that such cars during customs clearance are evaluated according to a special catalog, which indicates the average cost of each car and the final amount of all payments depends on this. Since the prices of cars in the domestic markets have risen, the prices in the catalog have also risen, so we get these 20% rise in price. This was announced by the journalist of the program «JeDai» Maxim Khotilenko.
It turns out that cars in the markets of Europe and Korea have already risen in price, so customs clearance has also been increased in the price tag. Also, most of the good options that Europeans have not even looked at before are sold in a matter of minutes.
Therefore, resellers have to spend a lot of time to find and purchase a trouble-free car with low mileage, and then bring it to Ukraine and clear it through customs. That is why we are seeing an increase in prices for used cars.
It should be noted that even cars bought in Ukraine have also risen in price, because if there is a demand, there will always be a supply. Motorists, unable to go to a car dealership and buy the car they want, are forced to buy used cars at an inflated price.
