Imported car prices will continue to rise for nearly half a year


The main reasons for the increase in prices are tight supply and the rising of the European and Japanese exchange rates. The uptrend will continue for half a year. Times reporter Huang Xiwei heard a price cut in domestic cars. Imported cars have received news of price increases. The reporter learned from the automobile market yesterday that at present all imported car prices in the Guangzhou market have risen across the board, with an average increase of more than 2,000 yuan. Some tight models have even gained 20,000 yuan. The biggest increase in the number of cars in Japan and South Korea The reporter learned that the largest increase in the current is the Japanese and South Korean cars, especially the largest increase in the Toyota series. The king of imported cars Toyota Camry rose at more than 4,000 yuan, the current price of 05 models Jiamei standard offer 334,000 yuan; Toyota overbearing prices rose 5,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan; Toyota bully rose the largest, or 15,000 to 20,000 yuan between. All other imported vehicles have also increased in varying degrees. In addition, the prices of imported cars from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi brands also rose slightly in recent days. Although the quotation of imported cars keeps rising, most consumers have the idea of ​​“buying up or not buying”, so the current situation in the imported car market is quite active. The market demand exceeds supply. In 2005, the quotas for imported cars have been cancelled. Once the “Luoyang Zhigui” was fired to a few tens of million yuan, the license for import car quotas no longer existed; at the same time, the tariffs also fell to a certain extent, and thus the cost of imported vehicles declined, but why? Imported car prices do not fall? According to the person in charge of the AEC Group Imported Automobile Co., Ltd., the rebound in the prices of imported vehicles was mainly due to changes in the supply and demand relationship in the imported vehicle market. Currently, the general supply of imported vehicles is tight, and many popular imported vehicles are even out of stock. Import car dealers said that last year's purchases by consumers and the resulting slow sales, as well as the implementation of the “landing and paying taxes” policy, and how the country's long-term import car policy is still not clear, has caused imported car dealers to Dare to purchase a large number of imported vehicles has caused the recent shortage of imported vehicles and their prices have naturally risen. In addition, the continuous rise in the exchange rate in the euro area and the yen area is also one of the reasons for the increase in the prices of imported vehicles. It is understood that as the exchange rate of the euro against the US dollar soared, the cost of imported cars that were settled in euros in the domestic automobile market increased sharply. At the same time, the yen has also risen within a few days, which has caused the price of imported cars to rise. The rally will continue for half a year. The reporter learned from the interview that in the short term, the imported car market will continue to maintain the situation of rising prices, which is determined by the incoming cycle of imported cars. It is understood that the purchase cycle of Japanese and Korean cars is generally 3 to 5 months, while the purchase cycle of European and American cars is 5 to 8 months. At present, the spot price on the imported vehicle market is last year's inventory, even if the imported car dealers want to quickly make up for the source of goods, it will take a certain period of time to turn around, and the purchase funds must be available after spot cashing, so the market can not alleviate this short supply in the short term The situation. Xu Zhirong, general manager of Chetian Automotive, believes that with the formal implementation of the automatic registration system, they will declare the car two weeks later, so that a new batch of new vehicles will be introduced to the market. This situation is expected to be eased after two or three weeks. However, due to the small volume of imported vehicles, it only eased the tight supply situation for some time. “The cancellation of quotas, tariff reductions, policy changes, and the disappearance of a number of small imported car dealers have all happened.” He believes that imported vehicles will stabilize in April and May regardless of prices or market conditions. It will continue until 2006.
