Car sales in last weekend reinforced the expectation of the sector to end the year with real growth in sales over 2008. The month should end with sales up 18.5 thousand vehicles in the state, which is equivalent to an increase of at least 7% over the same period last year, according to the board of the National Federation of Automobile Distribution (Fenabrave -PR).
A positive change in sales is justified because September is the last month discount total tax (IPI) on cars. The exemption began in December last year and has already been extended twice, in April and July. As a result, the last months of each quarter showed positive results compared to 2008. The return of the tax will now be gradual - car engine 1.0, now zeroed rate, are now taxed at 1.5% in October, 3% in November, 5% in December and again 7% in January 2010.
Who leave home to try to enjoy the last two days with the maximum reduction in prices will have difficulty finding alternative color, finish and options, especially in cheaper models. "Our stock of cars 1.0 dried, sold more than one hundred units over the weekend," says the director of Volskwagen Owl, Antônio Carlos Altheim. "It was an exceptional flow of sales, comparable only with the end of March and June. About the heavier cars, such as imported and most complete lines of Golf. 1.0 Who wants to wait two weeks, "he says. The stock of Volkswagen dealers was directly affected by the strike of steel workers in the factory of Saint Joseph of the Pines, which produces Fox and Golf models.
At Ford Center, the brand manager Hamilton Milani says that he started the month with a stock than needed, but the volume of sales throughout the period reported on the offer. "We will close the month at least June, which was very good." About the end of the year, he says the return of the IPI will not affect sales of the next quarter: the growing economy coupled with the 13th salary should be sufficient to close the year with growth.
Also Fiat Barigui sales were good. According to the manager José Angelo, the month started slow, but improved from the second half. "We believe very much in the market by the end of the year with even greater growth than the third quarter. In 2008, November suffered sharp drop in function of the credit crisis, which should not occur this year. We are aligned with the expected national increase between 6% and 8%, "he says.
Motorcycles
It ends tomorrow, the period of exemption from contribution to Social Security Financing (Cofins) granted for motorcycles up to 150 cc. The industry is trying to extend the period of exemption, since the sector is still performing well below the year: the August numbers indicate production of 202,574 units and sales of 179,002, reflecting their fall 23% and 21% in comparison with the same period of 2008. The Cofins used to represent 3% of the motorcycle, and its exemption of about R$ 210 on a basic model for R$ 7 mil - the equivalent of a provision of funding.
Consequence
Missing car dealerships
One consequence of the high sales this week is that, depending on the model chosen, the consumer runs the risk of not finding it for prompt delivery and the wait can be up to three months. If this happens, the buyer loses the discounts of the IPI.
In the dealer network of Fiat's biggest problem is with the double cab model Strada, released recently by the automaker. The wait, according to Marques, is up to 90 days. That's who buy now must cross your fingers to start 2010 with a new car in the garage. In such cases, says the manager, the customer gives a deposit of 10% of the value of the vehicle and the rest when you receive the key. But those who buy the model of Fiat probably will not see the color of the Discount of the IPI.
In stores Peugeot weekend sales was also above average, according to the national manager, Stephane Majka. Across the country the French carmaker closed 1950 contracts in 140 dealerships. "It was double that of a normal weekend and the best weekend of the year," Majka said. In the Peugeot dealers waiting for a model can get a month. This is the case of 206, the basic model. To avoid losing the sale, the strategy of the stores is to offer more models with more power and more accessories.
President of the association representing dealers of Chevrolet, Armando Boscardin says the network, which has 565 outlets in the country, sold over the weekend 8.5 thousand units. As has happened with other automakers, Chevrolet's customers also run the risk of losing the exemption of IPI because of the lack of cars in stock. The Classic, one of the most economical models, can take up to 15 days to be delivered to the buyer.
