Second-hand car rules extended until 2027 in Turkey

Turkey's Trade Ministry has extended regulations aimed at stabilizing prices and protecting consumers in the second-hand car market. The "6 months, 6,000 kilometers" rule, which restricts the resale of used vehicles within a short period and mileage, will continue until January 1, 2027. Advertising limitations for used car sales have also been prolonged.

These measures were initially implemented to curb excessive price increases and ensure fairer access to vehicles for consumers. The ministry stated that the extension is necessary to maintain price stability and prevent speculative practices in the market. The decision comes amid ongoing concerns about affordability and availability in the automotive sector.

The extension of these rules signals the government's continued focus on managing the used car market, aiming to balance the interests of both sellers and buyers. The ministry's announcement detailed the continuation of these policies, emphasizing their role in consumer protection.
