Romania sees a decline in car purchases, both new and used, due to economic uncertainty. New car registrations dropped by 10.5%, while used imports fell by nearly 14%. Consumers are prioritizing financial stability over large purchases, leading to a shift towards hybrid and electric vehicles. The used car market also faces challenges, with significant risks for buyers, as Romania ranks low in transparency for used car sales in Europe. Many used cars have recorded damages, and the incidence of altered mileage is increasing, despite a decrease in the average kilometers rolled back.
