Drawing up a win-win plan again broke down… Will major conglomerates enter the used car market and conclude within this year?

In relation to the entry into the used car sales business of the finished car industry of large companies, the finished car and used car industry tried again to come up with a win-win plan, but it failed again.

According to the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the used car industry on the 2nd, officials from the finished car and used car sales industry met again at the end of last month to discuss a win-win plan, but could not find a compromise.

The used car industry argues that the finished car industry should only buy used cars within a limited market share and hand over the rest to the used car industry, but the finished car industry has taken a stance that all properties should be purchased for the welfare of consumers.

The used car sales business was designated as a suitable business for small and medium-sized enterprises in 2013, and the entry of large companies was restricted.

However, the Shared Growth Committee did not recommend the used car sales business as a suitable business for livelihood, and the Ministry of SMEs and Startups did not immediately raise the agenda to the subsistence-type joint business deliberation committee.

However, as the negotiations broke down again, the possibility that the agenda would be submitted to the deliberation committee to be held this month increased.

It is likely that there will be several discussions rather than a conclusion immediately through the deliberation once a month.

An official from the Ministry of SMEs and Startups said, “Depending on the case, there are cases where a conclusion is reached after several discussions.”
