Rumor ups car sales
Print Edition
Hangzhou registered 171,578 new cars in the first half of this year, a year-on-year increase of more than 20 percent, partly due to the rumor that the city might limit the number of car plates.
A total of 100,305 used cars were sold in the first six months, 15.8 percent more than a year before and twice the national growth rate of 7.64 percent. The city’s new car sales jumped 61.4 percent in June to 17,906.
The local car market flourished after dealers spread the rumor that Hangzhou would imitate Shanghai by auctioning new car plates, industry sources said.
A Shanghai car plate has cost about 70,000 yuan to 80,000 yuan (US$11,437-13,071) in recent auctions, compared with only a few hundred yuan in other Chinese cities.
The rumor sent Hangzhou residents scrambling to buy a car.
One third of Hangzhou urban families now own a car, making Hangzhou No. 1 in China in private car ownership, followed by Beijing.
