Final Price of SAIPA-Citroen's C3 Still Shrouded in Doubt

On Monday, Iranian news websites reported that the eagerly anticipated news on the price of the Citroen C3 hatchback, manufactured through a joint venture between Iran's SAIPA and France's Citroen, had been announced through an "official statement" with the final factory price of the vehicle set at 1.35 billion rials ($32,140). However later in the day, the company released a statement stating that the price has not been determined yet.
Car enthusiasts had made a 600 million rials ($14,285) down payment on May 16 when SAIPA-Citroen launched a limited presale of the model, offering 2,000 of its long-awaited C3 to the public.
