Government ads: concessionaires expect more sales of used cars and celebrate the “useless work removal”

Among the changes announced by the Economy Minister Luis Caputothe informative regime of purchase and sale of used vehicles appears. From now on, dealers must not report any operation to Arca.

“A while ago, we had been asking for repeal because all he did was generate an administrative, time, important load, not only to duplicate the information but to triple the information,” he told the scope Alejandro Lamas, president of the Automotive Chamber of Commerce. “We formally asked for several times the repeal of this. It began to work in 2005 and in the successive governments we came asking for repeal. The last note was presented on November 22, 2024 to the Exafip, already under this management, with the same arguments of always,” he added.

The impact will occur mainly in the concessionaires, since automotive brands only market 0 km. However, those used as part of payment to acquire a new unit are usually used.

The measure was held by the concessionaires sector, who hope to have more sales, as important agents of the item consulted by Scope. They also pointed out that the previous scheme led to many operations to be carried out outside the formal system, since there were few who wanted to avoid the numerous bureaucratic requirements and procedures.

However, the operations came up. For example, in the middle of a strong recovery, the used car sector reached the best April in sales since this indicator has been prepared for 30 years. This was reported by the CCA ten days ago, indicating that in April 158,960 used vehicles, 16.69% more than in the same month of 2024 (136,230 units) were marketed.

From the sector they added that “the control levels according to the AFIP regulations that had been put on us, we had to inform as a concessionaire, even if it took a car to take it to the workshop or the laundry.” “A crazy thing, so we are very happy.”

For their part, Lamas, from the CCA, said: “Luckily they listened to us, we were heard and are clearly taking measures in the line of normality, logic and not being working for the State.” “This removes extra charge of useless work to taxpayers who are properly registered. We had warned that at the time that those who were ‘in black’ were going to make ‘more black’ even, because they were going to expel them to garages, hidden places, not exposed to the public, with all that that meant, and it was what ended up happening, ”Lamas concluded.

Remove the “dollars from the mattress”

Milei’s administration strategy seeks circulation in the real economy of dollars that were not declared, to a large extent bought as binding in the Blue market.

With the phrase “Your dollars, your decision”, the Government launched the plan to tempt Argentines to use the currencies treasured in safety boxes in the purchase of goods in the economy. “We have to make the State respect an elementary truth. Your dollars, your decision, yours is yours and you can do what you want with that money,” said the Presidential spokesman, Manuel Adorni. And he added: “Argentines are innocent again until Arca demonstrates otherwise.”

The Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, considers that if he manages to convince savers to use part of the “Canuto” to buy cars, departments, appliances and other goods, as well as paying trips abroad, economic growth will be energized at a more accelerated pace.
