With the sale of new cars would in the Netherlands, but not rafts. With the import of used cars on the other hand, the crescendo: yet never were there so many cars to the Netherlands in the past month.

Over the first five months of the year are 42.096 used cars imported, 25% more than in the same period in 2013. May stretched the crown with more than 9,000 cars, according to research from the VWE.

Rising dealervoorraden

An explanation for the increase is the fact that dealers, their inventories are going to expand, in may was 6.5% more in stock than the year before. The centre of gravity lies more than ever on small, fuel-efficient cars: in the top 10, we find the complete C1/Aygo/107 trio, but also B-segmenters like the Yaris and Corsa:

Broken down by segment:

A-segment Aygo, C1, 107, 500
B-segment: Polo, Corsa, Yaris
C-segemnt: Golf, A-Class
D-segment: 3 Touring

The figures confirm the news Autotelex our last month in tokyo, in a response to the increasing exportstroom of hybrids: until just a few years ago, the import of used cars, especially from the young cars of the premium brands, preferably in rich carried out with options. There is nothing new about that. What is new is that more and more cars from the A – and B-segment, ordinary cars, they will be entered.

Why import?

The increase of import has many causes. Undoubtedly, the EU has something to do with it, and the development of the internet. In 2006, the BPM legislation is modified and the rest-BPM is recovered from a vehicle that is being exported. This is, as it were, the gate to the Netherlands was removed. The effect of this was that the Dutch traders to the border, went to look, and in addition to the run of cars started with the enter button.

With the elimination of this tax fence to the Netherlands, we are more and more integrated into the European market. So We have to do with ordinary market movements, stimulated by economic recovery or stimulus from the government.

A not insignificant part of the importvloot consists of ex-rentals. Us are known examples of dealers that Chevrolet Aveo, Fiat 500 and Opel Corsa’s literally dozens at a time our country had come. In addition, a part of the import, well maintained used cars from countries such as Germany cover, where the emphasis may not be very specific on emissions.
