Car market has no spare parts

The appreciation of the US dollar exchange rate against the Egyptian pound over the past few months has led to a lack of spare car parts, exceeding 70% of the market size due to the decline in the amount imported and the restrictions on spare parts at customs for violating the new prices.

Desouky Saied, head of the spare car parts division in the Cairo Chamber of Commerce, said that the continuous price increase has prevented importers from buying goods due to the decline in the consumers’ purchasing power. In addition, most of the goods in the market are currently found in companies’ storage, and are not new goods.

Saied explained that the deficit includes all types of spare parts and those for European, American, Chinese, Korean and Japanese models. The deficit is especially clear among Chinese, Korean, and European spare parts, particularly as these models are those most popular with car owners.

Member of the spare car parts division in the Cairo Chamber of Commerce, Mohamed El-Battah, said that there is a clear deficit in the availability of spare car parts due to the high price of the US dollar, and the new prices imposed by customs on importing companies. Thus, those parts violating the new customs policies have not been released.

He added that the new prices are considered uncertified because they violate the real price of the spare car parts, where these prices are higher than the original ones by 20-30%.

El-Battah said that customs must communicate with producer companies in all countries in order to determine the global prices used and applied, and avoid the randomness of customs rules and the irregular price increases.

He explained that customs are still using old prices that were originally used when prices were higher and exceeded the current prices.

He noted that the most difficult-to-find parts in the market are shock absorbers, mirrors, brake linings, gasoline pumps, fuses, head and rear lights.

Daily News Egypt has obtained a copy of the list of the trial prices in US dollars. The list revealed that diesel engines of Mercedes, Volvo, and BMW models have jumped in price to $650 for four-cylinder engines, $700 for five-cylinder, and $750 for six-cylinder.
