Another month of extravagant growth for Turkish new car sales, up a whopping 40% year-on-year in July to 83.836 registrations and lifting the year-to-date total to 516.386 units, up an even more impressive 49% on 2014. This spectacular surge may soon come to an end however, according to our local correspondent. Following the announcement that new elections will happen later this year, the local currency (the Turkish Lira) took another hit vs. the Euro/US Dollar, and has now lost 10% of its value since the beginning of the year. Manufacturers had not adjusted their prices following the first hit earlier this year, and when they start doing so the market will start slowing down.
