Imports of foreign cars, restore or maintain meaningless

Automotive Proizvodstvo30-03-2009, restore or maintain imports of foreign cars is meaningless in Russia today, as well as worldwide car sales are not important. The biggest loss is the market of used cars, which had previously been very strong in our country. Importers of cars with mileage were between the hammer and the anvil of the crisis of public policy to support the domestic automotive industry. And besides, the market breaks down ruined the middle class, which sells cars for a pittance. In an effort to create a hothouse environment for local carmakers - as for all domestic and for screwdriver assembly of foreign cars - the state imposed a temporary (for 9 months), higher duties on used cars from abroad. Recall, from January 12, import duties on passenger cars in operation for between 1 and 5 years have increased on average by 30% of customs value with the proportional increase in specific rates, calculated in Euros (per 1 cu. Cm of the engine). This measure was predictably unpopular among the population - as in Russia, one of the highest prices in the world for new cars at very low income citizens who purchase used cars has been one of the options available to improve the quality of life.
