With a 50% increase in the import of new units in the first quarter of 2012, a change has been seen in the traditional tendency of the country buying mostly used vehicles.
In the first 3 months of the year 9,272 new cars came into the country, 50% more than in the same period in 2011, which represents a turnaround in vehicle imports, according to statistics from the Ministry of Finance.
In the past only durable and high priced goods like cars and houses were re-sold. Now re-selling (and buying second-hand) applies to everything from electronics to clothing.
Knowing the value of something that has been bought and used for some time used to be very difficult, but now facilities to check markets make it possible to establish the value of what we want to sell second-hand (RECOMMERCE).
