Pros and Cons of Selling Peugeot 207 Cars via IME

Following the announcement of the plan to sell 1,000 Peugeot 207 models on the Iran Mercantile Exchange, experts believe this is a sign of the Industries, Mining and Trade Ministry’s intention to liberalize car prices. 
The Industries Ministry has announced that the plan, launched on Nov. 21, is to deliver the cars on Feb. 19, 2023, Tasnim News Agency reported.
While some believe that the new mechanism can have a good impact on the domestic market, an automotive expert believes that it could be manipulated to result in more rent-seeking, in which case the sale of cars at factory prices would remain the best option.
The supply of Peugeot 207 cars could be a turning point, as the domestic automotive industry is belatedly embracing the sale of cars through IME, Donyaye Khodro reported.
