JoAutok.hu CEO Bertalan Halasz said sales are likely to reach 900,000 this year as some buyers opt for used vehicles instead of new ones, demand is diverted from used car imports to domestic supply due to the weak forint exchange rate and purchases with credit have been boosted by lower interest rates.
