Key Factors Influencing the Final Price of Cars in Turkey (Taxes and Duties)

Buying a car in Turkey is influenced by several key factors that directly determine the final price. Understanding these factors will help you make a better decision and comparison with the Iranian market.

1. Special Consumption Tax (ÖTV)

The Special Consumption Tax (ÖTV) is one of the most significant factors increasing car prices in Turkey. This tax is applied on a tiered basis according to engine size (CC) and the car's base price:

• Engine size less than 1.6 Liters: The ÖTV rate is

  typically around 45% of the base price.

• Engine size between 1.6 to 2.0 Liters: The rate increases to about 50–60%.

• Engine size over 2.0 Liters or luxury/electric cars: The rate can reach 160% or more.

This tax means that even cars with similar base prices can have vastly different final prices depending on their engine type and size.

2. Value Added Tax (KDV)

The Value Added Tax (KDV) in Turkey is calculated at 18% of the car's price (which includes the base price + ÖTV). This is a general tax applied to all vehicles, whether domestic or imported.

Important Note: KDV is not calculated on the final price before other taxes are applied; rather, it is calculated after the ÖTV has been added to the base price. Therefore, the taxes have a compounding and cumulative effect on the price.

3. Exchange Rate Fluctuations

The price of the Turkish Lira fluctuates sharply against the Dollar and Toman. Because a large portion of cars are imported or have imported parts:

• An increase in the Dollar's value causes the price of imported cars in Lira to rise.

• A decrease in the Lira's value against the Toman is equivalent to a price increase in Iranian Rials.

For accurate purchasing and financial planning, you must always consider the real-time Lira to Toman and Dollar exchange rates.

Comparing Prices of New and Used (Second-Hand) Cars in the Turkish Market

The car market in Turkey consists of two main sectors: new (zero-kilometer) cars and used (second-hand) cars. The price difference between these two categories is usually significant, and unlike in Iran, used cars in Turkey are sold at a significant discount compared to new ones.

Used Market Analysis

Reference sites like Sahibinden.com provide the most information on the used car market. On these platforms, you can view prices, models, production years, and mileage of vehicles.

• On average, one-year-old used cars are between 10% to 20% cheaper than new ones.

• Cars aged 3 to 5 years are typically sold for 20% to 40% less.

• Cars over 5 years old have a price reduction of up to 50% or more, depending on the model and technical condition.

Factors Reducing Used Car Prices

Several main factors affect the price of used cars in Turkey:

• Depreciation: As parts age and efficiency decreases, the car's price drops.

• Age of the car: The older the production year, the lower the price.

• Mileage: Cars that have been driven more are usually cheaper.

Note: Unlike in Iran, the second-hand discount in Turkey is mostly logical and based on real criteria, not just seller negotiation.

Precautions for the Buyer

To increase confidence and avoid risks when buying a used car in Turkey:

• Technical Inspection (TÜVTÜRK): Before purchasing, a technical inspection of the car is mandatory. This inspection ensures the car is healthy and ready to use.

• Damage Report (Ekspertiz Raporu): It is recommended that cars that have been in accidents or had major repairs be purchased with an official expert report.

Legal Conditions and Procedures for Iranians Buying a Car in Turkey

To buy a car in Turkey, in addition to choosing a model and checking the price, adhering to official laws and procedures is crucial. This section helps you purchase a vehicle safely and without legal risk.

Need for Residency and Tax Code

• Tax Code (Vergi Numarası): Without a valid tax code, it is impossible to buy a car and register the title. This code can be obtained from the Turkish Tax Office.

• Valid Residence Permit: Iranians must have a legal residence permit to buy a car; this can be a tourist, student, or work permit.

• Without a valid residence permit, even if the car is purchased, official title registration and new number plates will not be possible.

Official Title Registration Process (Noter)

Registering a car title in Turkey is done only through Notary (Noter) offices and is the most important part of the transaction. The main steps include:

• The buyer and seller must be present at the Noter office.

• Verification of car documents and ownership: Ensuring there are no debts or legal issues.

• Drawing up the official purchase contract and title transfer: The title is registered in the buyer's name.

• Receiving the official copy of the title and receipts for payment of taxes and fees.

Note: Without registration at the Noter, the transaction is not legal or valid, even if an agreement and payment have been made.

Additional Costs and Insurance

• Compulsory Traffic Insurance (Trafik Sigortası): Legal liability insurance for the car and driver, without which it is impossible to register the license plate.

• Comprehensive Insurance (Kasko): Optional but recommended; covers the cost of repairs or damages to the car, both minor and major.

• Other Costs: Annual taxes, license plate fees, and municipal duties vary by city.

Impact of Customs Duties and Taxes on Transferring a Car to Iran

Currently, Iranian laws completely prohibit the import of cars with national plates, and there is no official method to transfer a car purchased in Turkey to Iran with national plates. The only exceptions include cars for free zones and temporary passage (temporary plates), which are usually usable for travelers or foreign residents and have specific time limits. It must be emphasized that attempting to transfer a Turkish car to Iran with national plates is an extremely costly, complicated, and high-risk process and is generally not economically or legally justified. Therefore, this option should not be a priority in the user's search and is mentioned mostly for general information.
