Dealers expect more buyers after Mariano Rajoy announced in mid-July that the tax rate would rise from cars from 18% to 21%.

The data released Monday breaks the trend of recent months. The first half of 2012 resulted in the worst performance of the last two decades after the sales were reduced by 8.2% with a total of 406,070 units sold. The accumulated between January and August were recorded 520,216 registrations, down 8.5% from 568,349 in the same period last year.
The VAT increase, which will mean higher prices for vehicles 650 euros on average, has helped hesitant to buy a vehicle to avoid scratching over the pocket. From Anfac believe that progress has been selling up to 10,000 cars. "It is an illusion and in September is expected a significant drop," says Aránzazu Mur, head of economic Anfac. Ganvam president, Juan Antonio Sanchez Torres, believes the August results are "the last breath before starting probably the most disastrous period in recent history."
As associations say from manufacturers and retailers, the positive data recorded in August unchanged sector forecasts for the four-month period last year. The fall in household consumption, the recession that has engulfed the Spanish economy and the high unemployment rate anticipate a critical end 2012 automotive, where passenger car sales not exceeding 700,000 units. "These data, joins a decline in sales of 25,000 vehicles due to the VAT hike," said Mur Aránzazu. Should these expectations, the data will be much worse than in 2011, which resulted in sales of 808,059 cars, the worst record since 1993 registrations.
Sanchez Torres warns that throughout this year could be lost over 3,000 jobs just in distribution networks, on completion of five hundred SMEs. These losses are in addition to the 40,000 jobs and 2,500 SMEs destroyed since the crisis erupted. Ganvam president says that "the picture is very sad" and provides a series of measures to bring to life one of the sectors most affected by the crisis: "We need a plan of revival in demand coupled with the withdrawal of vehicles over ten years (accounting for 45% of the current fleet), the prohibition of selling cars in the street, or hardening of the technical inspections of cars (ITV) ".
Last month, 26.6% of the cars sold were petrol, compared to 71.6% with diesel engine and electric hybrids or 1.8%. Between January and August, 30.1% of the cars sold were petrol, 68.5% and 1.4% diesel hybrid or electric.
