Although there is no written agreement, as confirmed Ambit with different sources a “commitment” was reached with the companies to align with that request.
The Government’s request is that, as far as possible, list adjustments do not exceed 3% per month. In the last months, the increases of the cars came at a rate of increase of between 5% and 6% on average.
In line with this official order, some brands stayed within that adjustment for October prices.
0km cars: changes in price list
With the beginning of this month a particular event took place. One of the most important terminals sent last Friday to its network of concessionaires the new price list in force for the month with increases of up to 7%. However, yesterday, the same automaker corrected the decision and sent a new list, leaving the previous one without effect, with minor increases to those communicated days ago. The increases were in the order of 3%.
In the sector it is speculated that this automaker received an official call to enforce the commitment. From the company, they preferred not to comment on the subject.
From another terminal, they acknowledged that this month they had no contact from the Ministry of Commerce, but that the request to moderate the increases had been made at the beginning of September.
In any case, some brands adjusted their prices above the requested guideline, although by only one or two percentage points, but so far they have not had new contacts with officials.
“There was a request from the Government to moderate price increases. Each brand will decide what it can do and what its commercial policy will be”, they explained from one of the companies that was contacted.
Throughout the year, the prices of the 0km have been growing above inflationny exceeds the percentage of increase that accumulates in the official dollar, the price with which vehicles and parts for production are imported.
The reason for this level of adjustment is the lack of supply of units due to the obstacles to imports. Faced with a demand that is maintained, companies are in a process of recovering profitability.
