The increase rates in car prices vary between 50 and 90% depending on the brand and model. On the other hand, it has become almost impossible to find a new car at car company dealerships. Although the 2023 model vehicles have not yet entered the market, it is stated that prices will go up even more. While some brands have made symbolic increases, increases exceeding 30 to 50 thousand TL were observed in models whose tax brackets changed with the incoming increases.
Reasons for Increasing Prices

Dealers cannot supply new vehicles, those who queue to buy He has to wait for months.
Since the lack of new vehicles leads consumers to the second-hand market, it creates an uncontrolled price increase in the second-hand market. When we look at the first quarter of the year, there is a 22% increase in second hand prices compared to November-December last year. Those who want to buy a car are thinking about how to get out of this dead end.
