With closed dealerships from 20 March, patentamientos new vehicles during April was 4,385 units representing the worst month since you have register.

The Volkswagen T-Cross appeared again among the best sellers.

This means a drop of 88.3% compared to April last year and 75.4% compared to March this year. The accumulated number for the first quarter marks 94,849 registered units, which shows a decrease of 46.3% in relation to the same period of 2019.

For the Secretary General of the Association of Concessionaires of the Argentine Republic (ACARA), Ruben Beato, "today we are in the worst-case scenario, we have come from three years of very important declines in patent levels, going from 900,000 to 460,000 units, and with a year 2020 that will hardly reach 200,000 units, while our structures are ready to sell 750,000 ".
