The former director of the association of Iranian car sellers and showroom owners, Jalal Rikhtegar Qadimi, told ILNA on September 14 that the prices of kinds of cars have risen by around 35 percent between March 2011 and September 2012.
"Limitations in imports, growth of dollar price, and reduction in domestic production are among the main reasons for the price rise," he said.
The sharp rise of the dollar price from 13,000 rials in the beginning of the current year to around 36,000 rials in September, the non-delivery of spare parts by some foreign companies as a result of international sanctions, and the non-allocation of subsidies to the industry sector led to the closing down of a number of production units related to the automotive sector and a significant decline in products, subsequently.
