According to Alejandro Lamas, secretary of the Automotive Chamber of Commerceafter months with good volumes for the sale of used cars, August showed a slowdown with respect to the same month of 2024 and also compared to July. “
Not so, in the total marketed during the first 8 months of the year, with a significant growth of 15.08%, Lamas said.
“It is unquestionable that there are reasons that caused sales to lower. The uncertainty generated by politics, elections in between, has had an impact on the exchange market with the movement of the dollar of the last weeks, which always generates some sensitivity, and the high interest rates offered by the banks, led to the public who was interested in making a purchase, decided to wait or cancel the same,” said the manager.
He pointed out that “The demand is still valid and the agencies have an important car stock throughout the country. In addition, vehicles have already accommodated the reality of the market.”
“The engine that has been pushing the sector for months remains the interior of the AMBA. The ranking was headed by Formosa (41.68%), followed by Neuquén (36.15%), La Rioja (31.16%), Catamarca (30.36%), Jujuy (30.10%) and Salta (27.96%). Federal Capital 8.50%”Alejandro Lamas ended.
