A couple of days ago we met in Spain car market statistics for the first half of the year 2011, and unfortunately they show a remarkable 38% fall in sales of vehicles respect same dates last season. To this must be added the fact that visits to dealers have also declined dramatically, and today, only receive on average a visitor a day. Leaving the current context of crisis of side, the main reason for this large decline in purchases of new cars is the abolition of the Plan E, whereby purchases of new cars were receiving aid from the Government. Knowing of the Elimination of these, there were many users who took the opportunity to buy your new car at the end of 2010, which is affecting the data in these first few weeks of 2011. Seeing this situation, SEAT, leader of sales in the previous year, has believed that a good solution may be to boost the purchase of second-hand cars to compensate for the lack of new car sales. At the moment they are giving new impetus to its platform to sell second-hand cars, and try this way improve the bad new car sales data. It will take a few months to see if the strategy is good, but a priori it seems not a bad resource to continue to sell cars while the country remains submerged in the current crisis.
