We know that cars are very expensive these days, and unfortunately, it’s not likely to get any better. Indeed, the prices of new vehicles are constantly increasing, in particular due to the increase in the cost of raw materials. Not to mention technological equipment and inflation. But buying a used car is not necessarily easier, as demand continues to rise, and with it, prices. Which is not necessarily obvious for the most modest drivers, who also need it change the vehicle when theirs doesn’t work. But what can we do when purchasing power is at its lowest?

WARNING! Since 2015 and the appearance of Crit’Air stickers, traffic restrictions apply to some vehicles in large cities. Shall we summarize together? 🚙 #MyProjectMoreResponsible

Good idea

Fine a group of socialist senators had an idea and has just introduced a bill that is, to say the least, impressive, Le Figaro journalists reported. The idea is simple, as it consists in restoring cars taken back to the frame conversion bonus and are usually sent to the landfill, even if they are in good condition. Thus, the latter will then be reused and put back into service to be rented by cash-strapped drivers.

A small obstacle

So far, the elected officials have not yet announced the exact rules, which will be submitted to the parliamentary debate during December. However, there is a small obstacle to this measure: EPZs. Indeed, the cars sent to the junkyard are usually old and can no longer be driven in these regions. Especially since the latter were created specifically to ban old vehicles. It remains to be seen what the government will do and whether this proposal will be implemented in the coming years.
