$623 million worth of cars imported to Iran in eight months
2012-12-09
The sanctions aren't biting nearly deep enough...
$623 million worth of cars have been imported into Iran in the first eight months of the current Iranian calendar year which began on March 20, the Mehr News Agency reported.

According to Mehr, 27,472 cars valued at around $623 million, were imported during the eight month period, showing an 18 per cent rise in value and 9.6 per cent rise in the number compared to the same period in the previous year.

The UAE, South Korea, and China were the main exporters of cars to Iran. The average price of the imported cars was $22,663.

Meanwhile, 38,792 cars, valued at around $230 million were exported from Iran during the same period. Iraq, Ukraine, and Azerbaijan were the main importers of Iranian cars. The average price of the exported cars was $5931.
So they buy expensive quality Chinese and SKor cars, and export cheap cars to Iraq.

#4  Has Iran figured out how to use nuclear fuel in their imported cars since their nuclear efforts are all for peaceful purposes (sarc)? Saw an all electric car down in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. Have seen a few Leafs on the road in Tennessee.
